Our Story

The Gavel is the official student newspaper of Cleveland State University's Law School. Established in 1953, our mission is to provide quality news coverage to the students, faculty, and staff of the law school and the greater legal community.

Our team of student editors is committed to reporting on the latest legal developments, providing insightful analysis, and highlighting the achievements of our fellow law students. We believe in the power of the press and the original mission set in 1953 to be published "by the students, for the students". Join us in our mission to inform and engage the legal community.
