The Sydney Law Review is a peer-reviewed generalist law journal established in 1953[1][2] and published under the auspices of the Sydney Law School. The Review features original peer-reviewed articles, as well as review essays and book reviews commissioned by the Editorial Board. The Before the High Court column is a forum for some of Australia's leading academics to provide commentary on cases currently before the High Court of Australia. Students enrolled in the Sydney Law Review unit of study at the University of Sydney have the opportunity to publish case notes and law reform comments in the journal and serve as Student Editors of the Review.[3]

The originator of the Sydney Law Review, and the academic general editor for its first seven years, was Professor Julius Stone.[4] The introduction of the 'Before the High Court' column which "functions as a bridge between the court and the academy" is generally attributed to James Crawford.[4] The General Editors of the Review in 2024 are Professor Kimberlee Weatherall and Associate Professor Jacqueline Mowbray.[5] The Review's Editorial Board comprises members of the Sydney Law School.[5]
