History
Columbia Business Law Review is the first legal periodical at a
national law school to be devoted solely to the publication of articles
focusing on the interaction of the legal profession and the business community.
The review publishes three issues yearly, which involve students in the
editing of leading articles in business law, as well as the production
of student-written notes.
Columbia Business Law Review is governed by an administrative
board consisting of third-year student editors. The staff of the
review consists of law students selected on the basis of academic performance
during the first year of law school and writing ability as demonstrated
through the writing competition held annually after the spring term. Second-year
staff members assist in the substantive production of the review in addition
to researching and writing a student note on a business-related topic developed
with the assistance of a third-year editor. The note and other responsibilities
effectively train members to perform accurately both scholarly and practical
legal research. |
