INTRODUCTION - ARIZONA JOURNALS & NEWS

Law journals are peer-reviewed, scholarly journals which are written by legal scholars and ordinarily published by a student organization in a law school or through a bar association. They can focus on many different legal topics and may help you understand changes in the law or give you an introduction to a discrete topic. Legal news can similarly keep you up to date when the law changes and often provides shorter, easier to read explanations of complex legal topics.
