History

The "Harvard Law Review" published its first issue on April 15, 1887, and is the oldest operating student-edited law review in the nation. The establishment of this institution was largely due to the support of Louis Brandeis, then a recent Harvard Law School alumnus and Boston attorney who would later go on to become a Justice on the United States Supreme Court. The first woman to serve as the Review's president was Democratic political operative Susan Estrich (1978); its first black president was future Senator Barack Obama (1991).cite news | first=Fox | last=Butterfield | title=First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review | date=February 6 1990 | url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE2DC1631F935A35751C0A966958260&n=Top%2FReference%2FTimes%20Topics%2FPeople%2FO%2FObama%2C%20Barack | work=New York Times | accessdate=2008-01-04 See also: cite news | first=Jodi | last=Kantor | title=In Law School, Obama Found Political Voice | date=January 28 2007 | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/us/politics/28obama.html | work=New York Times | accessdate=2008-01-04] The recently elected Andrew Crespo (2008) was the first Hispanic president.

The "Harvard Law Review" headquarters, Gannett House, is located on the Harvard Law School campus. It is an elegant white building done in the Greek Revival style that was popular in New England during the mid- to late 1800s. Before moving into Gannett House in 1925, the "Harvard Law Review" resided in the Law School's Austin Hall.

election

Using a competitive process that takes into account first-year grades, an editing exercise, and a written commentary on a court decision, The "Harvard Law Review" selects between 41 and 43 editors annually from the second-year Law School class, which numbers 560.

Two editors from each of first-year class's seven sections (fourteen in all) are selected half by their first year grades and half by their scores on the writing competition. Another twenty are selected solely on their scores on the writing competition. The other seven to nine are selected by a discretionary committee, either to fulfill the review's race-based affirmative action program, to select students who just missed the cut by either of the other two processes, or by some other criteria as the committee sees fit.
