The Otago Law Review (OLR)

The Otago Law Review (OLR) is published annually. It is a blind refereed journal containing articles and book reviews on all manner of subjects connected with the study and practice of law. Each issue is the responsibility of an editorial committee under the supervision of the general editor. The committee welcomes contributions from both the staff and students of the Faculty.

The Review has been financially self-supporting and needs subscriptions to enable it to remain so. It is sold to Otago students at a discount price, and they are urged to subscribe. Many Otago graduates continue their association with the Faculty by remaining subscribers after their graduation. Copies of back numbers making up complete sets from the Review's inception in 1965 are available through the Law Faculty Office & are also available electronically to subscribers of HeinOnline, Knowledge Basket, EBSCO, H. W. Wilson, New Zealand Legal Information Institute, and William S. Hein & Co.

The Otago Law Review is published by the Otago Law Review Trust Board, an educational trust incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957.
