Hamline University School of Law Student Newspapers

Midwestern Advocate was Midwestern School of Law’s student newspaper from 1973-1975, when it became Hamline University School of Law. It ceased publication, and the name was later taken up by the Hamline Advocate, an alumni publication.

Hamline Legalese was Hamline University School of Law’s student newspaper from 1981 to at least 1984.

Both newspapers were independently published by students of Midwestern and Hamline Schools of Law.
