Studentische Zeitschrift für Rechtswissenschaft Heidelberg
Academic journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Studentische Zeitschrift für Rechtswissenschaft Heidelberg ("StudZR"; English: "Heidelberg Law Review") is a law review published by an independent group of law students at Heidelberg University (Germany). It was established in 2004, making it the oldest German student law review.[1][2][3][4]
To celebrate its 10th anniversary a symposium was organized in June 2014 under the patronage of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Art.[3]
In 2024, a symposium to celebrate the 20th anniversary was held. The symposium resulted in a special issue comprising articles based on the lectures and panel discussions,[5] along with an additional English-language contribution analysing the relationship between StudZR and U.S. law reviews[6].
Content
The journal comprises two separate publications with different objectives. The bi-annual StudZR Ausbildung print edition focuses on study-related topics such as case solutions based on previous law exams from Heidelberg University, essays concerning exam techniques as well as jurisprudence and textbook reviews. The StudZR Wissenschaft Online (WissOn)[7] website includes classic legal articles, analyses of recent court cases and book reviews.
Organisation
The editorial board comprises around 50 law students, articled clerks, and post-graduate PhDs who manage the entire editing and publishing process as well as marketing and sponsorship functions. The journal is headed by an editor-in-chief, a chief of marketing and a chief of finance.[8]
