Marquette Law Review

Last updated

Mission

The review was established in 1916 as a way for the law school to "make known its ideals and communicate its spirit." [1] It is the eighth-oldest law review in the nation. [2] Since its founding, the review has been dedicated to "the publication of not only theoretical articles of the law, but articles of real practical aid to the practitioner." [3] It has placed particular emphasis on legal issues in Wisconsin, which led former Wisconsin Chief Justice George R. Currie to "express on behalf of the members of our court appreciation to a Law Review from which we have so greatly benefited in performing our judicial labors." [4]

Staff

The review is produced by a staff of about 50 student editors and members. Membership invitations are extended to students in the top 10% percent of the 1L class. Alternatively, students may join the review by selection in a write-on competition held each summer. The editor-in-chief of Volume 106 is Matthew Kass.
