Legal Studies (ISSN 1748-121X) is published for The Society of Legal Scholars (SLS) by Cambridge University Press. It was first published in 1981 and is now recognised as "one of the leading generalist journals in the UK". Legal Studies publishes peer-reviewed scholarly articles, notes, reports, and book reviews. A ranking of UK law journals based on statistical data from the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise uses Legal Studies as the 'benchmark'.
As of 2018, Legal Studies is no longer published by Wiley but published by Cambridge University Press.
The winner of the Society of Legal Scholars' best paper award in 2023 was made to Conall Mallory and Hélène Tyrrell for their article The Extrajudicial Voice, a study of the views of 13 very senior judges as to their role and conduct.
