Conference on Student Publishing in Law

The University of Toronto Law Review hosts an Annual Conference on Student Publishing in Law sponsored by the law firm Blake, Cassels and Graydon LLP. All papers submitted to the Law Review are considered for publication as well as for presentation at the conference.

The purpose of the conference is to allow promising student writers to have their papers work-shopped by professors from the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law, specialist practitioners from Blakes, Law Review editors and interested students. The Conference also features panels and talks on subjects of general interest to student writers.

Thanks to the generous assistance of Blakes, the Law Review is able to provide transportation and lodging for writers who need to travel to Toronto to participate.
