First published in 1971, since 1984 it has been published by students at Duke Law School in Durham, North Carolina every June and December. The journal is not published in Alaska, because no law school operates within the state. The ''Alaska Law Review'' is funded by the Alaska Bar Association and a copy of the ''Alaska Law Review'' is provided to every Alaskan attorney as part of the dues to the Alaska Bar Association.

==History== In 1971, the Los Angeles, California law school UCLA School of Law began publishing the ''Alaska Law Review'' as the ''Alaska Law Journal'' (from 1963 to 1971), then as ''UCLA Alaska Law Review'' (from 1971 to 1983), taking its current name in 1984.<ref name=BUlib>[http://www.bu.edu/lawlibrary/periodicals/periodu.html Periodicals Beginning with U] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517171130/http://www.bu.edu/lawlibrary/periodicals/periodu.html |date=2008-05-17 }}, Boston University Law Library, Accessed May 15, 2010.</ref><ref name= "Corley">{{Citation |author=Asta Corley|publication-date= March 26, 2001|title= Law review is one more thing setting Alaska apart|work= Anchorage Daily News |page=B2 |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=AS&p_theme=as&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_text_search-0=Law%20AND%20review&s_dispstring=Law%20review%20AND%20section(all)%20AND%20date(3/26/2001%20to%203/26/2001)&p_field_date-0=YMD_date&p_params_date-0=date:B,E&p_text_date-0=3/26/2001%20to%203/26/2001)&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=_rank_:D&xcal_ranksort=4&xcal_useweights=yes |access-date=December 20, 2013}}</ref> The review is published every June and December.<ref name= "Corley"/> In 1983, the Alaska Bar Association selected Duke University School of Law in Durham, North Carolina to take over publication of the Alaska Law Review.<ref name= "Corley"/> The ''Alaska Law Review'' is funded by the Alaska Bar Association and a copy of the ''Alaska Law Review'' is provide to every Alaskan attorney as part of the dues to the Alaska Bar Association.<ref name= "Corley"/> Because the Alaska Bar Association distributes a copy of the ''Alaska Law Review'' to every one of its members, numbering approximately 3000 lawyers in 2008, the ''Alaska Law Review'' is "one of the most widely circulated law journals" in America.<ref name=DUChron>[http://www.dukechronicle.com/articles/2008/09/17/distance-no-barrier-alaska-duke-law-journals Distance no barrier for Alaska, Duke law journals] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131221001420/http://www.dukechronicle.com/articles/2008/09/17/distance-no-barrier-alaska-duke-law-journals |date=2013-12-21 }}, Duke University, The Chronicle, Accessed September 27, 2013.</ref>
