The Columbia Law Review is one of the world's leading publications of legal scholarship. Founded in 1901, the Review is an independent nonprofit corporation that produces a law journal edited and published entirely by students at Columbia Law School. It is one of a handful of student-edited law journals in the nation that publish eight issues a year. The Review is the third most widely distributed and cited law review in the country. It receives about 1,500 submissions a year and selects approximately 20-25 manuscripts for publication annually.
The Columbia Law Review publishes articles and book reviews of scholarly and professional interest by academic authors and practicing attorneys, as well as Notes written by members of the Review. Staff members are selected in four ways: solely on the basis of the first-year writing competition; based on a combination of writing competition score and grades; based on a combination of writing competition score, grades, and a personal statement; or through participation in the Publishable Notes Program held during the fall semester of the second year.
In addition to writing a Note, staff members bear major responsibility for substantive and technical accuracy of the Review's eight issues. Third-year students are responsible for selecting material for the issues and editing content.
