An overview of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law Review’s plans for the year
The University of Toronto Faculty of Law Review (UTFLR) is excited to welcome its new masthead and to share its plans for the year ahead.
Every year, the UTFLR receives hundreds of applications for its Associate Editor and Associate Publications Editor positions. Applicants undertake an assessment testing their legal research and writing skills. The UTFLR is thrilled to welcome nearly 50 new editors who will contribute to this year’s journal.
The UTFLR also has some exciting plans for the coming year. In particular, the UTFLR is looking to increase its French publications and to publish more blog posts on the Forum Conveniens.
The UTFLR is a fully bilingual journal that publishes submissions in both English and French. In 2022, the UTFLR transitioned to a bilingual journal and published its first French article in the second issue of volume 81. In 2023, the Forum Conveniens published two French blog posts. This year, the UTFLR is seeking to increase its French content, both in its journal and blog. We are thrilled to have hired a team of bilingual editors who will help contribute to this goal. For anyone looking to use their French skills in a legal capacity, submissions to the UTFLR are an excellent way to apply your skills!
Further, the UTFLR is looking forward to furthering the content of the Forum Conveniens. The Forum Conveniens is the official blog of the UTFLR that publishes case commentaries and opinion pieces on topical developments in the law. The Forum Conveniens welcomes submissions from all members of the legal community. Contrary to the UTFLR’s journal, which publishes longer articles, blog posts on the Forum Conveniens are shorter and present a more accessible way to engage with legal scholarship.
Whether you have a paper from a class or are intrigued by news, a case, or a legal principle, the Forum Conveniens would love to hear from you! For anyone who speaks French, submitting a pitch to the Forum Conveniens is also a great way to make use of your French skills. The Forum Conveniens has a team of French editors who can work with you to publish your submission in French.
Overall, the UTFLR is looking forward to the year ahead and hopes that you will join us in furthering our French and Forum Conveniens publications.
