Our name reflects a proud tradition. For several decades, "The University of Chicago Roundtable" was a nationally broadcast radio program that engaged the energies and intellects of a broad range of extraordinary scholars from throughout the University of Chicago. These scholars included Enrico Fermi, Saul Bellow, Robert Maynard Hutchins, Mortimer Adler, Edward Levi and Milton Friedman, among others.
the University of Chicago Law School Roundtable was inaugurated as a student-run journal in 1993 as a way not only to institutionalize the principles of inter-disciplinary examination of the law, but also as a means to further student involvement in this important endeavor. The Roundtable hosts several symposia during the year, devoted to examining unique challenges, principles, and controversies as they are in legal culture. Transcripts from these symposia, as well as articles and comments, appear in hard-text in various editions of the Roundtable (ISSN 1075-9166).
