The Tulane Law Review, a publication of the Tulane University Law School, was founded in 1916, and is currently published six times annually. The Law Review has an international circulation and is one of few American law reviews carried by law libraries in the United Kingdom.
The Law Review was started by Rufus Carrollton Harris, the school's twelfth dean. Charles E. Dunbar, Jr., the civil service reformer who became a Tulane law professor, served on the board of advisory editors of Tulane Law Review from its inception until his death in 1959.
A 1937 Time magazine about Rufus Harris describes the Tulane Law Review as "nationally famed."
The Law Review was most recently cited by the United States Supreme Court on April 27, 2010.
Membership to the Tulane Law Review is conferred upon Tulane law students who have "outstanding scholastic records or demonstrated ability in legal research and writing." Specifically, membership is chosen based on a student's law school grades and/or performance in an annual anonymous writing competition.
