# Journal of the Legal Profession

*The Journal of the Legal Profession* was the nation’s first periodical exploring legal ethics and problems confronting the profession. For over forty years, essays by distinguished judges, attorneys, and legal scholars have constituted *The Journal of the Legal Profession*‘s main text.

The student staff, selected based on distinguished academic performance and a rigorous competitive process after their first year in law school, conduct research and write commentary on cases and current events raising questions of professional ethics. The publication provides students a unique opportunity to examine the legal community from an ethics perspective and to present their findings and opinions to an international readership.
