Academic journal
The North Carolina Law Review is a
law journal of the
University of North Carolina School of Law . It publishes six issues each year as well as its online supplement, the North Carolina Law Review Forum (
Bluebook abbreviation: N.C. L. Rev. F. ).
History
Established in 1922, the North Carolina Law Review is the oldest law journal in the state
[1] and tied for the seventh oldest in the
American South .
[nb 1] In its first volume, the founding editors wrote that the journal would provide "a supplement to the routine daily class work of the School, [and] it will afford to the second and third year students, a means of intensive training in legal writing."
[1]
Due to its "local roots" in North Carolina, the Review has historically tailored much of its content to state concerns.
[2] Until 1959, the Review regularly published comprehensive surveys of new North Carolina statutes, but space constraints and expanding legislative action made the surveys impracticable for the journal.
[3] In Volume 50, it was estimated that 43% of the Review's articles focused on state issues and 57% focused on national and international issues, working toward the "dual objective" of addressing "both provincial and more general topics."
[2]
The number of students serving as the journal's editorial board and staff has fluctuated over time.
[4] At one point during
World War II , only three students were on the Review with four advising faculty members.
[4] At the time, the journal listed multiple "Editors in War Service" alongside its standard
masthead .
[4] By 2023, its membership had grown to 70 students.
[5]
Ranking and impact
In 2022, the North Carolina Law Review was ranked #38 among law journals by
Washington and Lee University School of Law .
[6] This marked a steady climb in the rankings since 2018, when it had placed #47. According to a 2023
meta-ranking conducted by
University of Oregon Professor Bryce Clayton Newell, the Review was ranked #30.
[7]
Throughout the late twentieth century, the
North Carolina Supreme Court cited the Review more than any other law review in the state.
[8]
[nb 2] The Review has been cited by state courts,
[9]
United States courts of appeals ,
[10] and the
United States Supreme Court ,
[11] and its members have gone on to clerk for Supreme Court justices.
