ACLR Online
ACLR Online is the online companion to the American Criminal Law Review. The online platform includes submitted work from professors and practitioners in the field of criminal law through its Online Contributor Program. ACLR Online also consists of the Featured Online Contributor Program. The program selects a small group of students each year to submit shorter posts on contemporary areas of American criminal law. The students’ work is then published through ACLR Online as well as on WestLaw.
ACLR Online allows the American Criminal Law Review to provide timely and relevant legal analysis on current criminal issues. Our team is dedicated to curating practitioner-focused articles to allow for a more robust conversation on criminal law.
