Volume IV: Legal Education and Professional Practice Issue
PhoenixLaw is part of the legal education movement to create more "practice-ready" attorneys. Phoenix Law Review has created a platform for scholarly debate and the voice of the practitioner. The goal of the Legal Education Issue is to foster critical debate about the normative future of legal education, and its effect on today's practicing attorneys. By providing both scholarly articles with a view of academia, and perspective essays with an eye toward practicality of the teaching and practicing of law, we hope to encourage continued reflection on how to best prepare students to become valuable contributors to the legal community. Our issue features contributions from practitioners, legal scholars, and PhoenixLaw students.

Volume IV: Arizona Law Issue
Arizona, as the last continental state to join the Union, has always marched to the beat of its own drummer. This beat has been a catalyst in the creation and interpretation of many unique-and in some instances controversial-laws and issues. Being situated in the heart of the Arizona legal community, Phoenix Law Review wants to join in the discussion of these issues that affect Arizonians. The Arizona Law Issue is the second, in what we hope will become an annual issue. Our issue will focus on recent Arizona legislation that has gained national attention for the state (such as SB 1070), as well as judicial interpretation on established law. The goal of the issue is to examine, critique, and invoke debate about important legal issues in Arizona. The Arizona Law Issue will feature contributions from respected state practitioners, legal scholars, Arizona judges, and local students.

Volume III: Arizona Government Book
As the Centennial Anniversary of Arizona's Constitution approaches (1910-2010), Phoenix Law Review is compiling a specially-themed issue focusing on Arizona's Government. The goal is to create a book that addresses several major aspects of the State Government, in articles on the State Constitution, the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches, as well as County, Municipal, and Tribal Governments. The Arizona Government Book will feature contributions from elected representatives, government attorneys, Arizona judges, local practitioners, legal scholars, and local students. Finally, Phoenix Law Review will hold a symposium during which speakers will present their topics. For more information on the Arizona Government book, please contact Anthony Tsontakis.
Volume III: Legal Education Book
As educational models in all disciplines adapt to a changing academic and professional culture, legal education has remained rooted in tradition. Recent reports on educational success and pedagogical strategies have revealed an opportunity to consider adjusting legal educational models to accommodate for a changing student population and to incorporate evolving educational theory into successful curriculum design. The Legal Education Book will engage scholars, practitioners, faculty, students, and judges in a thorough investigation of the reports that address new models of legal education. Additionally, contributors will offer experiential accounts of new strategies in legal education, critical examination of new teaching models, and serious contemplation of the benefits and detractions of injecting traditional models with new ideas and strategies.
