History

The Ateneo Law Journal, a fully student-run legal and academic journal, was founded in 1951. Initially, it was published bi-monthly, representing the collaborative efforts of law student editors and staff members, guided by faculty advisers. The Journal presented an opportunity for students to harness their legal writing and research skills beyond the demands of classroom routine. Discussions, analyses, and criticisms of various legal issues were the products of such fertile tradition. Thus, from scholarly articles and expositions penned by the country’s best, gifted, and most respected legal minds, to notes and comments from passionate law students, the Journal published thought-provoking and noteworthy compositions.
