The Australian Law Journal is an Australian peer-reviewed law journal which has been publishing since 1927. Studies have found that it is one of the most cited Australian law journals.[citation needed]
A 2002 study found that while on the Federal Court of Australia and the High Court of Australia judges published academic articles most often in the Australian Law Journal in both decades studied, the 1980s and 1990s.[1]
The first editor "set out to create in the ALJ, a Journal somewhere between the learned reviews and the practical magazines of the English legal profession."[2]
Past editors have included Bernard Sugerman (1927–1946), Rae Else-Mitchell (1946–1958), Russell Walter Fox (1958–1967), Nigel Bowen (1958–1961), Philip Jeffrey (1968–1973),[a] Professor J. G. Starke QC (1974–1992),[b] and Peter Young AO (1992–2016).[4] The Assistant Editor and Revenue Editor (1977–87) was the later Chief Justice of Tuvalu, The Hon Charles Sweeney QC.
