The Wisconsin Law Review is a bimonthly law review published by students at the University of Wisconsin Law School. One issue each year is generally dedicated to a symposium or special topic.
History
The Wisconsin Law 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 of the Law Review 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]
Admissions
Students are awarded staff membership based primarily on their performance in a writing competition at the end of their first year of law school. First-year grades and contribution to the diversity of the journal are also considered.
