It was established in 1901 by Joseph E. Corrigan and John M. Woolsey, who served as the review's first editor-in-chief and secretary.[3] The Columbia Law Review is one of four law reviews that publishes the Bluebook.

History edit

The Columbia Law Review represents the school's third attempt at a student-run law periodical. In 1885, the Columbia Jurist was founded by a group of six students but ceased publication in 1887.[4] Despite its short run, the Jurist is credited with partially inspiring the creation of the Harvard Law Review, which began publication a short time later.[5]

The second journal, the Columbia Law Times was founded in 1887 and closed down in 1893 due to lack of revenue.[6]

Publication of the current Columbia Law Review began in 1901,[7] making it the fifth oldest surviving law review in the US. Dean William Keener took an active involvement during its founding to help ensure its longevity.[8]

Impact edit

The Columbia Law Review was the top-cited law journal during the 2018 Supreme Court term.[9]

According to the Journal Citation Reports the Columbia Law Review had a 2009 impact factor of 3.610, ranking it third out of 116 journals in the category "Law".[10] In 2007 the Columbia Law Review ranked second for submissions and citations within the legal academic community, after Harvard Law Review.[11]
