The Michigan State Law Review is an American law review published by students at Michigan State University College of Law. In the 2024, Washington & Lee School of Law ranking of law reviews, the Michigan State Law Review was ranked 59th among “flagship” print American law journals with a score of 18.11 out of 100 and, per W&L Law, the journal is ranked 68th among all student-edited, print, English law journals,[1] a dramatic increase from its ranking of 332nd in 2003.[2] The journal hosts an annual academic conference of global legal experts with past events covering issues such as autonomous vehicles, quantitative legal analysis, civil rights, and intellectual property.[3] Professor David Blankfein-Tabachnick has served as Faculty Advisor of the journal since his appointment in 2016.[4] In 2018, the journal began publishing an annual "Visionary Article Series," which features the work of one prominent legal scholar per year.[5]

Michigan State Law Review has published the works of numerous legal scholars, such as Robert Post, a legal scholar and former dean of Yale Law School,[6] Mark Lemley, a professor at Stanford Law School and renowned intellectual property scholar,[7] Scott L. Kafker, a justice on the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts,[8] and Nathalie Martin, professor of consumer and bankruptcy law at University of New Mexico School of Law.[9] The journal has also published the scholarship of Dennis Archer, a former Michigan Supreme Court justice and an alumnus of the school.[10] [11]

History

Prior to the founding of the Michigan State Law Review, the school published a periodical known as The Brief Case. Although this was met with approval, potential authors who were unaffiliated with the school requested to be published. In response, a law review was established. The Michigan State Law Review, then known as the Detroit Law Review, released its first publication in June 1931. At the time, the school was known as the Detroit College of Law. After seven years, the Detroit Law Review ceased publication in 1938, but was brought back for three issues during the 1947–48 academic year. Following another hiatus, the journal was revived in 1975.[12]

In conjunction with the school's integration into Michigan State University, the journal went through a series of name changes: Detroit College of Law Review (1975-1995), Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University Law Review (1995-1999), The Law Review of Michigan State University, Detroit College of Law (1999-2003), Michigan State DCL Law Review (2003-2003), and Michigan State Law Review (2003–present).[12]

Publications

The Michigan State Law Review publishes five issues per year, one of which is a symposium that focuses on a particular legal topic.[13] Additionally, the journal publishes an annual "Visionary Article Series" article.

Symposia

Each year, one of the Michigan State Law Review issues is a symposium, a legal academic conference that focuses on a particular area of law. In the 2018–2019 academic year, the Michigan State Law Review transitioned to a book symposium format, where authors visit the College of Law and workshop their pieces for the symposium in front of journal members and law school faculty.[14] In recent years, the annual symposia topics have been as follows:

Visionary Article Series

In 2018, Michigan State Law Review began publishing a "Visionary Article Series" that aims to "honor a single legal scholar who has had a profound impact on a field of law by publishing a work of his or hers with a special designation." In the inaugural year, the journal published an article on administrative regulation by Richard Revesz, director of the American Law Institute and professor and former dean at the New York University School of Law. In 2019, the series continued with an article by Yale Law School professor and former dean Robert Post that analyzed the chief justiceship of William Howard Taft. In 2020, the journal published an article by the Guido Calabresi Professor of Law at Yale Law School, professor Daniel Markovits. Currently, Michigan State Law Review is in the process of publishing the 2021 Visionary Scholar Article by Eduardo Peñalver, professor and dean of Cornell Law School, which will precede a planned 2022 article by Akhil Amar, professor of law at Yale Law School.
