History edit

The journal was founded in 1927 as the Temple Law Quarterly.[5] In its earliest years, the journal covered a wide variety of legal topics, including constitutional law, international law, and legal ethics, with articles and case notes contributed by both students and practicing lawyers.[5] Temple Law Quarterly scrutinized many twentieth-century developments, publishing articles on patent law's approach to chemical compounds, the consequences of the two World Wars on civil rights and insurance liabilities, the rise of medical malpractice law, and racial discrimination in Pennsylvania Bar admissions.[5] The journal published sixty volumes under the name Temple Law Quarterly, before being renamed the Temple Law Review in 1988.[5]
