Volume 30 Number 3 (December 2006)The Melbourne University Law Review is one of Australia’s premier generalist law journals. Submissions to the Review are subject to independent, anonymous peer review prior to acceptance for publication. The Review is published three times a year (in April, August and December) and is managed by an Editorial Board comprising students of the Law School at The University of Melbourne.
The Review publishes articles on all areas of law, as well as case notes, book reviews and review essays. The Review’s Critique and Comment section features shorter comment-style pieces, along with full-length articles that employ explicitly theoretical approaches to the law. The Review occasionally produces a symposium edition devoted to a particular aspect of law. Recent symposium editions of the Review have focused on the centenary of federation, contemporary human rights in Australia, and tort law.
