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.).
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]
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.
