Five Approaches to a Law School Paper or a Law Review Student Note
Transcription
History
The review was established in 1920[1] by students and faculty of the law school. The first issue was published in October 1920.[2] In 1935, the journal became entirely student-edited.[3] The first faculty editor-in-chief was "legendary" law professor William Herbert ("Herbie") Page,[1] who taught at the school from 1917[4] until his death in 1952.[5] The first student editor-in-chief was Leon Foley.[1] In 1940, Harriet Zetterberg became the journal's first female editor-in-chief.
Admissions
Students are awarded staff membership based solely on their performance in a write-on competition at the end of their first year of law school, which consists of a Note, Bluebook exercise, and Diversity Statement. The journal no longer takes first-year grades into consideration.
