Tex. L. Rev. - Texas Law Review (USA)
Published from 1845 to 1846. It contains previously unpublished cases from the 1845 term.As a law journal, this American publication has had two incarnations.
It first appeared as a bound 6-volume set, running from 1883 to1886, and was published weekly at Galveston, Texas, by Ed. J. Hamner, self-styled "Editor and Proprietor". Each year, the set of weekly editions would be bound and issued as a seperate volume of the Teaxs Law Review.
The first series is often distubguished by a Roman numer "i" as in this sample citation:
Shryock & Rowland v. J. D. Latimer and Wife, 1. Tex. L. Rev. (i) 1 (Texas Supreme Court, 1883)
On December 22, 1886, the Tex. L. Rev. (i) announvced that it was being absorbed by the Southwest Reporter (S.W.) when it published this:
"Notice of Discontinuance ... having been disposed of to the West Publishing Company of St. Paul, Minnesota".1
Some 30 years later, in 1922, the title was revived when, to create a law journal, Ireland Graves, Ira Hildebrand and Leon Green incorporated the Texas Law Review, a:
"... publication of a legal periodical for the benefit of the students and faculty of the Law School of the University of Texas and of the bar of Texas."2
To 2011, the Tex. L. Rev. was at volume 89.
The current, official statement of scope (2011):
"The Texas Law Review is a national and international leader in legal scholarship. Texas Law Review is an independent journal, edited and published entirely by students at the University of Texas School of Law. Our seven issues per year contain articles by professors, judges, and practitioners; reviews of important recent books from recognized experts, essays, commentaries; and student written notes. Texas Law Review is currently the ninth most cited legal periodical in federal and state cases in the United States and the thirteenth most cited by legal journals."
