Law professors, lawyers, and judges are unsurprisingly critical of the law review system, which relies on law students to choose and edit law reviews’ content.
These reviews produce articles that are infrequently cited in court opinions and are almost never turned to by anyone in search of accessible and timely accounts or critiques of legal developments. Members of the legal community agree that law reviews could benefit from more training for their student editors, blind screenings of submissions, and peer review assistance.
