About the journal
The University of Chicago Law Review first appeared in 1933, thirty-one years after the Law School offered its first classes. Joseph Beale, the first Dean of the Law School, and William Rainey Harper, the first President of the University, had wanted to establish a law review sooner. The reasons for the delay, according to a letter of Professor James Parker Hall, included the small size of the faculty, the work accompanying the organization and early operations of the school, and, most importantly, the cost of publication.
By the time 1 U Chi L Rev appeared in 1933, law reviews had already earned an influential place in American jurisprudence. The Supreme Court first cited a law review article in 1917. Adams v Tanner, 224 US 590, 606, 613 (1917) (Brandeis dissenting), citing The American Labor Legislation Review. Student members of Volume One included Edward Levi, Stanley Kaplan, and Abraham Ribicoff. Authors of Articles appearing in Volume One included William O. Douglas, Charles E. Clark, Charles O. Robory, Robert Hutchins, Joseph Beale, and E.W. Hinton.
Over the next eight years the Law Review grew in stature. Contributing authors included Bigelow, Pound, Wigmore, Kalven, and Williston. Student members included Bernard Meltzer, Harry Kalven, Albert Ehrenzweig, and Wally Blum, about whom it is said that, as Editor-in-Chief, he edited the Law Review at Jimmy's, beer in hand.
Volume Ten marked the entry of the United States into World War II. A Staff of just two students produced the first issue; with the fourth issue, the faculty assumed Editorship. Volumes Ten through Thirteen, without much student work, averaged under 500 pages.
After the war, the Law Review returned to the students. Since then the Law Review has continued to serve as a forum for the expression of ideas of leading professors, judges, and practitioners, as well as students, and as a training ground for University of Chicago Law School students. Prominent former members include Judge Abner Mikva and Provost Geoffrey Stone (both Editors-in-Chief); Judges Frank Easterbrook, Douglas Ginsburg, and Robert Bork; and Professors Marvin Chirelstein, Daniel Fischel, Lawrence Friedman, Mary Ann Glendon, Michael McConnell, and Randal Picker. The list of authors published includes Supreme Court Justices Brennan, Clark, Douglas, Frankfurter, Scalia, and Stevens; Judges Bazelon, Breitel, Frank, Friendly, Posner, Wald, Weinstein, Williams, Winter, and Wright; Justice Roger Traynor of the California Supreme Court; and Professors Ackerman, Calabresi, Dworkin, Hart, Llewellyn, Rawls, Wigmore, Williston, and Brainerd Currie, to mention only a few names from the list of illustrious scholars. The Law Review has even published an Article by J. Edgar Hoover.
Instructions to Authors
Thank you for considering submitting your article to the University of Chicago Law Review. Please read this page carefully, as it contains important information regarding the submissions process.
I. Selection The Review seeks to publish articles making a significant, original contribution to their field. In general, this precludes the publication of case notes or other narrowly focused works. Essays and book reviews will be considered on a limited basis.
Because our editorial policy affords substantial deference to authors, articles must be both well written and completely argued at the time of submission. Limited resources generally prevent us from filling in the gaps of an otherwise significant article or substantially correcting its style. Although we are unable to contact authors with whom we cannot publish, we generally seek to vote on strong submissions within a few weeks of receipt of the piece, and will contact the author immediately upon acceptance.
II. Editing Both the argument of an article and its "voice" should be the creations of the author. Our edits are intended to hone the author's vision, rather than replace it with our own.
To this end, after completing our substantial round of editing, we send the author a "redlined" copy of the manuscript that shows all changes we have made. Substantial changes are accompanied by substantive comments or questions. Our changes are meant as reasoned suggestions, not editorial edicts, and we will respect the author's judgment regarding whether the changes should, in the end, be made.
III. Submission The Review accepts and prefers electronic submissions through the ExpressO submission system, which can be found online at http://www.law.bepress.com/expresso. You can also email your manuscript in Microsoft Word format to lawreview@law.uchicago.edu.
While electronic submissions are strongly preferred, the Review does accept paper submissions. Manuscripts should be mailed to:

Chicago, IL 60637
Please do not submit a hard copy if you have submitted an electronic copy through ExpressO or email.

The University of Chicago Law Review will attempt to honor all requests for expedited review for which the above information is provided.
