A student-edited, scholarly publication that contains contributions from legal scholars, practitioners, judges, and law students.

A law review is a scholarly journal focusing on legal issues, normally published by an organization of students at a law school or through a bar association.The http://www.nysba.org/MSTemplate.cfm?Section=Member_Materials13&Site=International_Law_and_Practice_Section1&Template=/ContentManagement/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=73528 New York International Law Review, for example, is published by the New York State Bar Association instead of a law school. The term is also used to describe the extracurricular activity at law schools of publishing the journal. Because of the competitive process by which law reviews select their staff and the intense research and writing experience gained by being a part of the journal, membership is considered a prestigious credential.
