Students develop the business plan for the publication, create the budget, and coordinate subscription drives. Students produce SLPR almost entirely with desktop publishing software. Students design the layout and style of the publication and see each article through the editing and production process. Staff also design some advertising graphics. Staffing for SLPR comes from all three law school classes.
Students can join as editor candidates during their first year.
More experienced editors may become article editors responsible for an entire article. The Stanford Law Review was organized in 1948. Each year the Law Review publishes one volume, which appears in six separate issues between November and July. Each issue contains material written by student members of the Law Review , other Stanford law students, and outside contributors, such as law professors, judges, and practicing lawyers. Law Review participants select, edit, and publish articles and notes on the cutting edge of legal scholarship.
