Chicanx-Latinx Law Review

The Chicanx Latinx Law Review (CLLR; formerly Chicana/o-Latina/o Law Review, Chicano Law Review and Chicano-Latino Law Review) is a student-edited and produced law journal at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law. Established in 1972, it is the first law journal in the United States to focus primarily on how law and policy affect the Chicana/o and Latina/o community within the America. The student publication includes scholarly work on an array of topics, such as affirmative action and education, Spanish and Mexican land grants, environmental justice, language rights, and immigration reform. It has been cited as an authority in courtrooms across the America.^[1]
