Denver Law Review
journal
The Denver Law Review is a law journal published by the students of the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. It was established in 1923 as the Denver Bar Association Record. In 1928, the journal was renamed Dicta and in 1968 it was renamed Denver Law Center Journal. The journal changed its name to Denver University Law Review in 1985. It adopted its current name in 2015. The College of Law began co-publishing the law review in 1949 and became the sole publisher in 1966. The Denver Law Review has proudly featured distinguished authors such as U.S. Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, William O. Douglas, and Byron White, noted constitutional law scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, and consumer advocate Ralph Nader.
The Denver Law Review publishes four issues in its print version each year. The Denver Law Review Forum is the online supplement to the Denver Law Review, which publishes shorter, more timely pieces as well as podcasts.
Candidacy
Like many law schools' law reviews and journals, first-year day and first and second-year night students may attempt to "write on" to the Denver University Law Review during its sole spring candidacy period.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Denver Law Review” is journal. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Denver, Review and journal, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “journal” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5259797. 5 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1923, 1928, 1968 and 1985.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
