Our Mission

The Riyadh Law Review aims to:

1. Elevating Legal Academia
   We aim to raise the standard of legal research in the Kingdom by publishing original, high-quality articles in both Arabic and English, encouraging critical engagement and intellectual innovation in legal thought.
2. Improving Trust in Scholarship
   Through transparent editorial policies, rigorous peer review, and ethical publishing practices, RLR seeks to strengthen confidence in the reliability, accuracy, and rigour of legal scholarship.
3. Bridging Legal and Institutional Gaps
   We are dedicated to connecting diverse legal traditions and academic cultures – locally, regionally, and globally. By facilitating dialogue between Arabic and English legal communities, and between students, judges, scholars and professionals, RLR contributes to a more integrated and inclusive legal academic environment.

The Riyadh Law Review is managed and edited entirely by students. Our editorial team is responsible for all aspects of the publication process, from the selection of papers to the final editing stages. This structure ensures that the journal operates with editorial independence, allowing us to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and excellence.

Publication and Accessibility

We publish multiple issues annually, featuring a diverse range of content that reflects the dynamic nature of legal studies and system. In addition to our print edition, the Riyadh Law Review offers an online platform to enhance accessibility and engage with a broader audience. This digital presence allows us to disseminate legal scholarship widely and facilitate timely discussions on emerging legal topics.

Engagement and Contributions

We welcome contributions from scholars, practitioners, and students who wish to share their research and insights with the legal community. Our submissions process is designed to be inclusive and transparent, ensuring that a wide array of voices and perspectives are represented in our publication.
