Submissions

​

The Baruch Undergraduate Law Review (BULR) is committed to publishing exceptional legal scholarship from undergraduate students across the globe. We welcome original, well-researched, and thoughtfully argued submissions on any topic related to law or the legal system. Our interdisciplinary approach encourages contributions from students in fields such as political science, history, philosophy, sociology, international relations, and beyond.

​

We offer two publication tracks—Print Division and Online Division—to accommodate both in-depth academic work and timely legal commentary.
