The University of Pittsburgh Law Review was founded in 1934, with a staff of nine. The first volume was published in March 1935, and by that fall, the staff had doubled and publication increased to four times per year. The Review occasionally sponsors a symposium at the law school, featuring speakers reflecting on topics including the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education and "Lawyers and Disability." The Law Review's 75th Volume featured a Symposium edition dedicated to the legacy of alumnus Derrick Bell.[4] In October 2017, the Law Review organized a conference titled "Judges and Journalists: Accuracy and Access."
