Founded in 2009, the OUULJ is the UK's oldest and most distinguished undergraduate law journal. Under the auspices of the Faculty of Law, the OUULJ affords a unique opportunity for law undergraduates to publish their academic legal writing in a recognised law journal, providing a platform for discourse on legal developments from the next generation of legal scholars and practitioners.
Our Honorary Board has grown over the past decade. It is the OUULJ’s distinct honour to have a number of Supreme Court Justices, King’s Counsel, and leading academics across all fields of the law in endorsement of the journal. We are generously supported in our efforts by leading firms and chambers from across the United Kingdom.
We primarily accept submissions addressing topics within the Oxford undergraduate law syllabus. A comprehensive list of these subjects can be found here. Full details of our submission guidelines can be found here.
In addition to our annual print-publication, we also run a blog and a podcast. Uniting all our efforts is the goal of promoting incisive legal discourse at Oxford and beyond. We are pleased to have relationships with various other law journals and reviews in the United Kingdom and beyond, and are always eager to forge new and stronger links with our partners.
This year saw the publication of the 13th Edition of the Journal. We were privileged to have Lord Briggs and Lord Sales of the Supreme Court as judges of the prizes given to the best public and private law articles in the Journal's 13th Edition. Their Lordships were also our honoured guests at the 13th Edition's Publication Evening, details of which can be found here.

We hope you find what you are looking for on this website. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please note that we are only able to respond to queries regarding the work of the Journal.
