“THIS! Totally! I’ve also been published in law reviews multiple times, and the shortest article was 32 pages with over 200 footnotes. This many is a fraud on every level.”
Since you fellows are so familiar with law reviews, you are also aware that very few of the articles are written by the university law students. The top students at Harvard Law are given the prestigious positions of working on the Law Review, but by and large they are editors, not writers. Certainly a major law review, like Harvard, is not going to allocate 32 pages of its highly prestigious journal to a mere law student. These articles are written by people who are considered to be the nation’s top thinkers in the law, usually by the professors at the law school or other law schools.
Absolutely untrue. Every academic law journal has a section reserved to law student “Notes” which are of the same length as the “Articles”. The difference between “notes” and “articles” being only the status of the author. The length is generally the same.
Example: I went to an Ivy law school like Obama, I had a note published in the law journal, and it was 40 pages and had 238 footnotes. And that’s typical of a student note.
