It was established in 1949 as the Intramural Law Review of St. Louis University.

The journal contains articles written by legal scholars in addition to student-written notes and comments.

[1] The Law Journal accepts new members through an annual write-on competition held after spring exams.

The competition includes two components: a shorter comment about a timely issue and a BlueBooking exercise.

Candidates are then evaluated on their writing and BlueBooking skills as well as their grades.
