The Trinity College Law Review (TCLR) is a student-run law review affiliated with Trinity College Dublin School of Law. It has been published annually every March since 1998 and is available on two online legal databases: HeinOnline and Westlaw.[citation needed] The review publishes selected submissions in English, French, or German dealing with any area of law.[citation needed] Previous contributors have included Mary McAleese, Susan Denham, Pat Cox and Gerard Hogan.[citation needed]
