This link to an article from a conservative writer at Townhall who talks about being on the HLR with Obama would seem to settle the issue.
Why do you not believe Carol Platt Liebau who has been writing at Townhall all the way back to 2006 ?

Harvard Law Review articles
In 1990, Obama beat out 18 other contenders to become the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, where he spent at least 50 hours a week editing submissions from judges, scholars and authors.
According to Politico, there were “eight dense volumes produced during his time in charge there – 2,083 pages in all.”
Campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told Politico Obama didn’t write any articles for the Review, but he did leave behind numerous case analyses and unsigned “notes” from Harvard students.
As Matthew Franck noted in National Review Online, “A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time.”
Susan Estrich, the first female president of the Review who served 14 years earlier, said Obama must have had something published that year, even if his campaign denied it.
“They probably don’t want [to] have you [reporters] going back” to examine the Review, she said.
Why wouldn’t he release his transcripts, say with his grades redacted if that embarrassed him?
He won’t do that for any school, at any time.
And nobody knows him at Columbia.
I still think he’s a composite, a propped-up “media creation” as he himself put it back in 1990. He had SOME of the titles, a few key pictures, but none of the nitty gritty, not the class attendance, the transcripts, the boring papers he had to have written...just does not add up.
