The St. Thomas More Institute for Legal Research was founded in
1955, at which time The Catholic Lawyer began
publication. The Catholic Lawyer is run under the rubric of
the St. John’s Law Review. Its articles are devoted
to timely legal problems having ethical, canonical or theological
implications.
The Catholic Lawyer publishes 2 issues a year.
Members and editors of the St. John’s Law Review are
responsible for verifying sources, checking citations,
proofreading, and critically analyzing the works set for
publication in The Catholic Lawyer.
The Catholic Lawyer is primarily composed of outside
articles solicited by, and submitted to, The Catholic
Lawyer. The Catholic Lawyer also accepts
student contributions, which require adherence to the same strict
standards of excellence with respect to analysis, research,
Bluebooking accuracy, and writing style.
The Executive Publications Editor of the St. John’s Law Review
has the primary responsibility for The Catholic Lawyer
including overseeing the editorial process and preparing
manuscripts for publication.
