The Iowa Law Review is a law review published five times annually by the University of Iowa College of Law. It was established in 1915 as the Iowa Law Bulletin.[2] It is ranked 17th among 1550 journals indexed in the W&L ranking.[3] The journal has been student-edited since 1935.
History
The Iowa Law Review has its origins in the Iowa Law Bulletin.[2] The original Bulletin series was published from 1891 to 1900 by faculty.[4] The Bulletin was reinstated in 1915, edited by both faculty members and students.[4] It changed its name to Iowa Law Review in 1925,[4] indicating that the journal's focus would be on Iowa legal issues, but "occasionally an article of general scope [would] appear."[4] Indeed, it has published on topics of national and international law.[4]
Projects
In 1933, the Iowa Law Review became the first law review to publish a symposium[4] (on administrative law), which was entitled "Administrative Law Based upon Legal Writings 1931-1933."[4] Since then, the journal has continued to hold symposia on issues of national importance.[4] In 1968, the Iowa Law Review began the "Contemporary Studies Project".[4] These projects were large-scale, usually empirically based, and often lasted for more than one year.[4] Some of the projects have received national recognition and/or have affected legislation and judicial reforms in Iowa and around the country.[4] An examples is Facts and Fallacies About Iowa Civil Commitment (Iowa Law Review 55:895, 1970; leading to a revision in 1975 of Iowa's civil commitment laws). Two studies (A Comparison of Iowans' Dispositive Preferences with Selected Provisions of the Iowa and Uniform Probate Codes, Iowa Law Review 63:1041, 1978; The Iowa Small Claims Court: an Empirical Analysis, Iowa Law Review 75:433, 1990) have been widely cited and relied upon in law review articles and by courts throughout the US.[4]
