Wisconsin Law Review

The "Wisconsin Law Review" is the principal journal of legal commentary and analysis published by students at the University of Wisconsin Law School.

History

The "Wisconsin Law Review" was established in 1920 by students and faculty of the law school, and the first issue was published in October 1920. In 1935, the journal became entirely student-edited.

Publication Background

The "Wisconsin Law Review" is published six times a year. The law review publishes scholarly articles by law professors, judges and practitioners as well as notes and comments written by student members of the law review. One issue each year is generally dedicated to a symposium or special topic.

Admissions

Students are awarded membership on the Law Review staff based primarily on their performance in a writing competition at the end of their first year. First-year grades and contribution to the diversity of the journal are also considered.

Ceremonial Positions

In addition to the standard editorial staff, the "Wisconsin Law Review" is noted for the appointment of Malt & Barley Editors (MBEs) each year. The MBE editorship is a vital ceremonial position responsible for furthering the recreational interests of the "Wisconsin Law Review" membership; these interests include fundraising and furthering the consumption of beer produced by small Wisconsin breweries.
