The Tulane Law Review, a publication of the Tulane University Law School, was founded in 1916, and is currently published five times annually. [1] The Law Review has an international circulation. [2]
The Law Review was started as the Southern Law Quarterly [3] by Rufus Carrollton Harris, the school's twelfth dean. [4] Charles E. Dunbar, Jr., the civil service reformer who became a Tulane law professor, served on the board of advisory editors of the Tulane Law Review from its inception until his death in 1959. [5]
A 1937 Time magazine about Rufus Harris describes the Tulane Law Review as "nationally famed". [4]
Membership of the Tulane Law Review is conferred upon Tulane law students who have "outstanding scholastic records or demonstrated ability in legal research and writing". [6] Specifically, membership is chosen based on a student's law school grades and/or performance in an annual anonymous writing competition.
