ABOUT
901 Law Review is a youth based and youth led writing platform advocating for student voices on real world legal matters and topics. Teens have the opportunity to express themselves beyond the limits of traditional writing, and explore social issues, government ruling and its effects on the younger generation, school polices, and environmental concerns and many more concepts.
With this in mind, it is also crucial that all writer's opinions are respected, so it is important to exclude all political or offensive viewpoints from your writing to create an inclusive and meaningful experience for everyone. We publish volumes by the season online so stay tuned for each one!

The people who fostered and executed the concept of 901 Law Review

Editor-in-chief*
(Nandini Kondisetti)
I started 901 Law Review with mission of creating an inviting space and organization fully founded and led by the youth of the Memphis and Collierville Area. I welcome anyone in Tennessee to write about and advocate for real legal issues while still respecting the fellow writing community here and help make a change in this world as a youth. Please stop by this website monthly to read and appreciate the works that we have created and consider writing one yourself. You could get published yourself! I hope you enjoy what this platform has to offer and keep advocating for what YOU believe in!

Executive Editor*
(Thy Nguyen)
I'm Thy, an avid cat lover and aspiring attorney. I joined in on the creation of 901 Law Review after noticing the severe lack of legal opportunities for the youth in my local community. The wonderful thing regarding our community is the sheer number of different opinions we all share so I encourage everyone who stumbles upon this site to try and release works detailing those very opinions (while still respecting others of course). And even if you can't, please take some time to read the works of fellow students who strive to help broaden the perspective of their readers. Have fun reading and writing! ​​

Do you have a passion so fierce it keeps you up at night? Have you witnessed injustice that too often goes unspoken? As the child of immigrants, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles that marginalized communities face, the struggles that demand not simply just attention but also action. That’s why I joined the 901 Law Review: to amplify voices like mine, challenge systemic ignorance, and drive meaningful change through the power of legal advocacy. This isn’t just a platform but a movement. And we won’t stop until more people are heard, understood, and empowered. Join this publication in the fight for justice.
