The Iowa Law Review's Symposium is a biennial forum for legal scholarship—bringing together the foremost experts on a common topic of current and future importance in the law. While legal symposia are now ubiquitous, it was at the Iowa Law Review where they began. Since its first Symposium on administrative law in 1933—including contributions from legal giants such as Felix Frankfurter and John Wigmore—the Iowa Law Review's Symposium has and continues to host symposia on topics as varied as the law itself. The Iowa Law Review is proud of its Symposium's ninety-year record of facilitating excellent legal scholarship and is excited to continue this tradition of excellence.
