Cornell Law School "Lawyers in the Best Sense"
Transcription
Cornell Law School is located in Ithaca, New York and has many academic opportunities in which students can excel. Founded in 1887, the school has become known as one of the nation’s top law schools. The school has a rather small population of about 600 students. One of the hallmarks of the Cornell Law program is the amount of research facilities available to students. With 10 centers, institutes and programs, there are many opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. The Death Penalty Project and Cornell e-Rulemaking Initiative help students become involved in law training in real-life situations. There are three law degrees offered at Cornell: Juris Doctor (J.D.), Master of Laws (LL.M.), and Doctor of the Science of Law (J.S.D.). Students can also participate in joint degree programs with the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs and the Cornell College of Architecture, Art and Planning. Many of the joint degree programs can be completed in four years. First-year students can participate in the Lawyering Program, which serves as an introduction to the skills needed as practicing lawyers. Each program ends with Moot Court arguments. There are also the Langfan First-Year Moot Court Competition, the Cuccia Cup and the Rossi Cup. There are pro bono opportunities through the Public Service Challenge; past initiatives have included the Cornell Prison Education Project and the Student Hurricane Network. Cornell courses include international human rights, comparative legal systems and international commercial arbitration. Cornell Law offers three student-edited law journals: the “Cornell Law Review," "Cornell International Law Journal" and "Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy." A peer-reviewed journal called the "Journal of Empirical Legal Studies" is presented by the Cornell Law faculty. Students looking for small class sizes at a prestigious law school may well find a good fit at Cornell. Cornell also offers a dedicated network of alumni and many opportunities for advancement both before and after graduation. Are you seeking admission to a stretch school such as Cornell Law?

History
Cornell Law School first published a law review in June 1894—the first and only issue of the Cornell Law Journal—and again published a law review (the New York Law Review) from January to July 1895. Following these initial efforts, the Cornell Law Review began its continuous publication in 1915.[2] Until 1966, the Cornell Law Review published four issues annually and was known as the Cornell Law Quarterly. Six Student Editors were joined by one Faculty Editor, a Business Manager, and an Assistant Business Manager. In the first issue of Cornell Law Quarterly in November 1915, Cornell professor (and soon-to-be dean) Edwin Hamlin Woodruff defended the launch of this new journal from critics who decried the proliferation of legal periodicals at the time (one contemporary critic counted 20 journals total, including non-scholarly periodicals).
Woodruff argued that the Cornell Law Quarterly would "justify its existence if it can reach and be helpful to...lawyers who might otherwise give their attention exclusively to the routine of practice" and noted the "pedagogical value...within the college itself" for the students who worked on the journal. Woodruff wrote that the journal "would not fail of its purpose, if it substantially enhances the spirit of mutual service between the College of Law and Cornell Lawyers; if it aides in some degree to foster any needed reform in the law, or to give help by intelligent discussion and investigation toward the solution of legal problems; and if it satisfies within the college itself among the students and faculty a desire to advance...the cause of legal education in a larger sense."
The first article in the first issue of the Cornell Law Quarterly was authored by Cornell University President Jacob Gould Schurman, who had recently completed his term as vice-president of the New York State Constitutional Convention of 1915. Schurman, and other authors in that issue and later issues of the Cornell Law Quarterly, chronicled the recent constitutional convention to illuminate the provisions of the state's new Constitution. The journal also realized Woodruff's vision by honing the legal skills of the student editors who served on the journal. One of the first Editors-in-Chief, Elbert Tuttle, later rose to prominence as the Chief Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit during a time when that court was called upon to be the primary enforcer of the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education in the southern states in that circuit.
The journal grew steadily over the next fifty years, expanding to the point at which a staff of 34 students undertook a two-stage expansion of the journal's publishing schedule. In 1966, the Cornell Law Quarterly published six issues—Fall, Winter I, Winter II, Spring I, Spring II, and Summer. In 1967, it committed itself to a bi-monthly publishing schedule and changed its name to the Cornell Law Review. Today, the Review is edited exclusively by upper class students in Cornell Law School's Juris Doctor (J.D.) program.
In 2019, the Cornell Law Review became the first of the Top-14 schools to elect an all-female executive board.[3]
The Cornell Law Review publishes seven issues annually.
