TheAlbany Law Reviewis a quarterlylaw reviewedited by students atAlbany Law School.[1]TheAlbany Law Reviewis one of three student-edited law journals published by the school.[2]
History
[edit]TheAlbany Law Reviewwas founded in 1936. Its founding followed the publication of theAlbany Law School Journal,the first student-edited legal periodical in the United States.[3]TheAlbany Law Reviewconsiders itself to be theAlbany Law School Journal'ssuccessor publication.[1]The only verified surviving copy of theAlbany Law School Journalhangs in the office of the editor-in-chief of theAlbany Law Review.[4]
TheAlbany Law Reviewhas historically published four issues annually. For most of its history, the issues were of no particular topical focus or were topically linked to a symposium held at the law school. In 1996, theAlbany Law Reviewabsorbed theRutgerspublicationState Constitutional Commentary and Notes,dedicating one of its four annual issues, titledState Constitutional Commentary,to scholarship related to state constitutional law.[5]In 2010, the journal dedicated a second issue, titledNew York Appeals,to the study of appellate courts in New York state.[6]The following year, a third issue, titledMiscarriages of Justice,was dedicated to exploring failures in the criminal justice system.[7]That issue is created in partnership with theState University of New York at Albany's School of Criminal Justice.
In addition, the journal has also sponsored a series of symposia, bringing noted speakers on contemporary legal topics to the law school.[8]These speakers range from politicians, to legal academics, to sitting members of the judiciary. In recent years, theAlbany Law Reviewhas held two symposia, one in each semester of the academic year.
Membership
[edit]The members of theAlbany Law Revieware all students at Albany Law School. As with many law reviews, attaining membership on theAlbany Law Reviewis a competitive process. Students become eligible for journal membership upon completion of their first year of law school. Offers of membership are extended based on student class standing or on the results of a writing competition jointly administered by the school's three student-edited journals.[2]Members are given editorial and research related assignments in their second year of law school, and are required to produce an article of publishable quality. In their third year, members may be elected to the editorial board, which handles the overall production and publication of the journal.
