Originally, UCLA Law proposed in 1950 that either Berkeley and UCLA should publish a joint law review or that all law schools in the state should jointly publish a law review. After Berkeley shot down both proposals, UCLA Law persuaded the Board of Regents in 1952 to provide a full subsidy for the launch of its own law review.^[1]: 218

Membership is decided based on performance on a write-on competition.^[2] The editorial board is selected from the staff. Past editors have included federal judges Paul J. Watford, Sandra Segal Ikuta, and Kim McLane Wardlaw.

The UCLA Law Review ranks 10th in the nation among all legal law journals.^[3] Bryce Clayton of the University of Oregon noted that as of 2023, it ranks 16th per US News Peer Reputation score (averaged over 10 years), 7th per Washington and Lee Law Journal Ranking, 15th per overall US News school ranking (averaged over 10 years), and 22nd per Google Scholar Metrics.^[4]
