History
Established in 1922, the North Carolina Law Review is the oldest law journal in the state.[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]
The number of students serving as the journal's editorial board and staff has fluctuated over time.[2] At one point during World War II, only three students were on the Review with four advising faculty members.[2] At the time, the journal listed multiple "Editors in War Service" alongside its standard masthead.[2] By 2023, its membership had grown to 70 students.[3]
Ranking and impact
In 2022, the North Carolina Law Review was ranked #38 among law journals by Washington and Lee University School of Law.[4] According to a 2023 meta-ranking conducted by University of Oregon Professor Bryce Clayton Newell, the Review was ranked #30.[5]
