LAWRENCE J. LATTO DONALD W. HOAGLAND Editor-in-Chief Book Review Editor COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW THE Columbia Law Review, a periodical edited entirely by members of the student body, has been published continuously since l9OI. Its forerunners were two: the Columbia Jurist, a weekly started in i885 and abandoned in I887, and the Columbia Law Times, a thirty-page monthly which flourished from I887 until 1893. Although among the first student-edited publications to come from an American law school, nei- ther of the Review'5 predecessors were of the ambitious nature which makes current student publications the leading legal periodicals. Except for slight curtailments due to the exigencies of World Wars I and Il, the Review has published eight issues annually. At present each contains about seventy pages of articles by leading members of the legal profession, and about ninety pages of student work which consists of intensive studies in limited fields of the law and discus- sions of important recent cases. There is also a section devoted to reviews of recenti books on legal topics. Distributed to over 3,500 subscribers, the Review is of general interest to lawyers and is used as a source of reliable information and material. The annual bound volumes are an essential part of any large law library. Students are selected on the basis of scholarship to compete for membership on the Board of Editors, and are elected after satisfactory completion of the period of competition. The Board consists of about thirty-five members, of which the internal divisions are an Administrative Board of five and a Board of Revising Editors of varying size. Although the Review is under the general control of a Board of Trustees, the Ad- ministrative Board is entirely responsible for editorial policy and administration. Although Review work, centered in the office in Kent Hall, is laborious and time-consuming, the honor and the opportunity to conduct independent research and hence to acquire ex- perience not obtainable in the classroom make it rewarding to the editors.

The new publication met with gratifying student and alumni support and is now one of the Law School's regular activities. JOSEPH W. MARLOW The NEWS. is operated by a student-elected board ALBERT P. BLAUSTEIN currenf Editor-an-chief of student editors chosen for their interest and abil- co-founder of the News and Former Editorial Director First Editor-in-Chief ity. Alumni-Faculty assistance and supervision is supplied by a Board ot Trustees comprised of three alumni and two Faculty members. The Columbia Law School Alumni Association has provided essen- tial financial aid and has arranged for distribution of the NEWS to all members ofthe Association. The paper, which appears bi-weekly, emphasizes both student activities and important alumni under- takings. Editorially it has attacked the continued issuance of paper-bound casebooks by law book pub- lishers and the Library lighting system. lt has also advanced suggestions for the improvement of the law placement system and supported the giving of point credit for moot court trials.
