Established in 2008, the Estate Planning and Community Property Law Journal is the only legal journal of its kind committed to community property law, and the second in the nation devoted to estate planning. This student-led publication publishes scholarly articles written by national and international experts in the fields of estate planning, community property, and related legal topics. The Jour
nal also contains outstanding student comments. In its first year of publication, the Journal won the Texas Bar Foundation's Outstanding Law Review Article Award and won it a second time in 2016. Governor Preston E. Smith Regents Professor of Law Gerry W. Beyer serves as the faculty advisor for the EPJ. The Estate Planning and Community Property Law Journal is available in print on a semi-annual basis and is accessible online via Westlaw. Another exciting focal point of EPJ is its online companion, The Codicil, which augments the printed issues with up-to-date legal information. Each year, the EPJ sponsors and hosts a stunning Estate Planning CLE and Expo featuring well-known attorneys, judges, and academics from around the nation. Held at the Texas Tech School of Law, this event gives the EPJ members a tremendous opportunity to network with the elite members of the estate planning community, while simultaneously expanding the knowledge base of many legal professionals.
