Columbia Law Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Columbia Law Review is a law review edited and published entirely by students at Columbia Law School. It was founded in 1901 by Joseph E. Corrigan and John M. Woolsey, who served as the Review's first editor-in-chief and secretary. The Review celebrated the publication of its 100th volume in 2000.
The publication is one of a handful of student-edited law journals in the nation that publish eight issues per year. The Review ranks third for submissions and citations within the legal academic community, after the Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal.[1] The Review receives about 1,500 submissions per year and selects approximately 25 manuscripts for publication. In addition to articles, the Review regularly publishes scholarly essays and student notes.
The Columbia Law Review is one of the four law review organizations that publishes the Bluebook.
Alumni of the Columbia Law Review include United States Supreme Court Justices William O. Douglas and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Columbia Law School Professor Herbert Wechsler, and former New York Governor George Pataki.
