The Montana Law Review, a legal periodical published semiannually, is the principal means of communication to the Montana Bar on Montana law. It includes case notes, comments, and recent developments by students and articles by judges, practitioners, and professors. The principal funding for the Law Review is provided by the State Bar of Montana as a service to the members of the Bar and to legal education.

     The Law Review staff is composed of second- and third-year law students selected on the basis of demonstrated writing ability.
