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.
