Federal Circuit Symposium

AULR is the only law review in the country to publish an issue exclusively dedicated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Law Review proudly dedicates this issue to publishing insightful and relevant articles from esteemed scholars, practitioners, legislators, and members of the judiciary that highlight and analyze critical developments in patent law, trademark law, government contract law, international trade law, and veterans’ law. In addition to the issue, since 1985, the Law Review has hosted an annual Federal Circuit Symposium to discuss these burgeoning and important topics.
