The Mercer Law Review, the oldest continually published law review in Georgia, is edited and published by students of Mercer University School of Law. There are five issues each year including an Annual Survey of Georgia Law, an Annual Eleventh Circuit Survey, and an online companion highlighting student scholarship.

The Mercer Law Review is moving online.
With Volume 72, we began the transition to an online only publication. Volume 73, 2021-2022, will have two print issues, the Annual Survey of Georgia Law and the Eleventh Circuit Survey. Volume 74, 2022-2023 will be completely online.

Current Issue: Vol. 73, No. 4 (2022) Eleventh Circuit Survey
