About the Scholar Forum
UCLA Law Review Scholar Forum is a public lecture and conversation series featuring two innovative, provocative, and publicly engaging articles the Law Review will be publishing in the current volume. Now in its second year, the Scholar Forum will take place twice—one in fall and the other in spring. In this Forum, we invite authors to give presentations on the main arguments of their articles to which members from the UCLA community give formal responses. The responses will thereafter be published in UCLA Law Review Discourse, our online journal.
Through this Forum, the Law Review wishes to showcase the important scholarly contributions that our authors have made beyond the four corners of the journal, engage the Law School community in conversations stemming from the articles, and add to the vibrancy of intellectual life in our community and beyond.
