HE Brooklyn Law Review resumed publication in February, 1947 after a five year war-suspension period. Under the aegis of faculty advisor Prof. Milton G. Gershenson and student editor I. Leo Glasser, the Review at once recaptured the spirit which had already won a place for it in the field of legal publications. Leading articles by judge Harold Kennedy and by former Professor Jay Leo Rothschild on various aspects of Federal and State procedure highlighted the first issue, supplemented by skillful analyses of recent New York decisions by student members of the Editorial Board. Succeeding issues have maintained this high standard of quality both in content and composition. ln theshort period since publication was resumed, reprints of leading articles have appeared in the American Bar Association journal, in the Insurance Bul- letin, and in the Commerce Clearing House publications. The function of the Review is a dual one: It is a source of legal education for the professional and student reader, and it serves as a training ground for the student editors and staff members, where the priceless techniques of legal research, analysis, and writing are developed under conditions which most closely approximate professional work. Student candidates are required to achieve an honors average as a prerequisite to their appointment. It is hoped that the near future WMEHK broader base to the Law Review with more ex- tensive opportunities for student participation, perhaps via the organization of an intramural law review organized by the various classes. The current issue of the Review contains leading articles dealing with the New York Civil Practice Act Revision of 1946, with the attempt to remedy un- fair competition in the Federal jurisdiction 5 a discussion of overlapping tort and contract problems, and the continuation of a scholarly thesis by West Vir- ginia University's Professor Albert S. Abel on Trade and Traffic Regulation Before Gibbons 11. Ogden. Student articles and case reports and a group of interesting Book Reviews supplement the leading contributions. Continued interest and support by the student body and alumni is a sine gunz non of Law Review development. Readers of the Review should require little urging in this direction.

C orreiponding Sew'e1ffz1'y MILTON RICHARDSON . . . . . . . . T mzrzzrer IN the spring of 1948 an alert group of students joined together to form the Labor Law Club. Though small in number, the membership is keen in its enthusiasm and interest in the field. Cognizant of the growing importance of the field of labor law and aware of the need for competently trained individuals to cope with the intricacies of this field of law, the membership plans through mutual discussion to familiarize itself with the field of labor law by developing its background, analyzing past and present labor legislation, reviewing and interpreting the adjudications of the courts, and following current trends. The first meetings have been devoted to organization-getting acquainted, writing a constitution, and making plans for the many animated meetings to follow. A prominent labor attorney and alumnus of the Brooklyn Law School has already expressed interest in the Club's activities, and plans have been made for him to address the group. cgfre 1948 Gftcznceffor pageafffym
