Founded in 2000, the Berkeley Journal of Criminal Law is the primary criminal law review in the western United States. BJCL is at the core of Berkeley's vibrant criminal law community, which includes the Berkeley Center for Criminal Justice and an intellectual student body that is ideologically diverse but uniformly dedicated to excellence in criminal law. BJCL operates with the advisement of Boalt Hall faculty. The journal is available in print and on LexisNexis, Westlaw, and HeinOnline.
