The UC Davis Law Review ranks No. 19 in the nation in the influential 2021 Washington and Lee Law Journal rankings. King Hall’s flagship law review leapt up eight spots from the previous year’s rankings. Among public university law reviews, UC Davis Law Review ranks sixth.

Released in July 2022, the 2021 rankings “provide citation data and calculated ranks for the top 400 U.S.-published law journals and the top 100 law journals published outside the United States,” the Washington and Lee University School of Law website states. The latest rankings cover a five-year span, from 2017-2021.
