Chapman Law Review closes out Volume 29 with the Symposium Issue. This is the third and final issue published by Volume 29, following General Issue One and General Issue Two. This issue features scholarship on data privacy and supplements the Chapman Law Review symposium, Data Flow Frontier: Privacy, Policy & Practice, which took place on Friday, February 6, 2026, in a sold-out Kennedy Hall in Orange, CA. The symposium was an engaging discussion on modern data privacy.

The 2026 Chapman Law Review Symposium was a tremendous success thanks to the people behind the scenes who worked so hard to create an important and memorable event. Executive Program Editor Riya Beri worked tirelessly to invite speakers, coordinate the logistics, and develop the marketing that led to a sold-out event. The administration, namely interim Dean Kenneth Stahl, Deane Sutic, Aaron Rodriguez, Jonathan Smith, Assistant Dean Kelly Oto, and Assistant Dean Jessica John provided crucial support and guidance throughout the process. The faculty, especially Professors Celestine McConville, Lan Cao, Mario Mainero, and Lawrence Rosenthal, and law librarian Phillip der Mugrdechian contributed vital support and advice.

When we kicked off Volume 29, our goal was simple: we wanted to leave the Journal better than we found it. Previous iterations of Chapman Law Review paved the way for us and allowed us to build on the strong foundation they had built. Our article submissions team implemented processes to increase our reach and profile. Our editing team improved our procedures and demonstrated meticulous attention to detail. Our production team emphasized communication and prioritized our authors. Our symposium amplified a cutting-edge topic and introduced creative marketing initiatives. In all, I believe we left the Journal better than we found it.

To the members of Chapman Law Review, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and positivity throughout the year. Without each member’s crucial contributions, the three issues and the symposium would not have been possible. Volume 29 published crucial pieces that will only become more important as the years go by. Volume 30 is in excellent hands, and I cannot wait to see the continued growth of Chapman Law Review. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as Editor-in-Chief and I am forever indebted to the individuals who made the experience so special. Thank you.
