Water Law Review
University of Denver Sturm College of Law
The Water Law Review at University of Denver Sturm College of Law is the flagship and only legal journal dedicated to publishing water law and policy scholarship. First, second, and third year law students edit, manage, and publish the Review on a biannual basis.
First published as the Water Court Reporter, the Water Law Review originally covered water law news around the western states. In 1997, the Water Court Reporter officially became the Water Law Review, an internationally-circulated authority on water law and policy in the West and around the world.
The journal and accompanying symposium continue to serve as trusted fora for past, present, and future water managers to meaningfully engage in discussions of water rights, policy, and practice.
Volume 30

This commemorative edition of the Review will publish articles, essays, prose, and other written work which examines where water law and policy has been, stands today, and may be headed in the years to come.
