From the publisher, circa July 2011:
"The University of Illinois Law Review is an academic publication published five times per year by the students of the University of Illinois College of Law. The Law Review provides practitioners, judges, professors, and law students with cogent analyses of important topics in the law.
"The College of Law’s history of student publication dates back to 1917, when a group of high-ranking students began to publish the Illinois Law Bulletin. The publication appeared as the Illinois Law Quarterly from 1922 until 1924.
"Students of the College joined with editors from the Northwestern and University of Chicago law schools from 1924 to 1932 to publish the Illinois Law Review.
"Between 1932 and 1948, students of the College published a “current law section” in the Illinois Bar Journal.
"In 1949, the University of Illinois Law Forum was established as a quarterly under the guidance of then-Professor John E. Cribbet. During the next three decades, the Law Forum became one of the twenty most widely circulated law reviews in the country.
"In 1980, in an effort to more accurately reflect the contents of the journal, the members voted to change its name from Law Forum to (University of Illinois) Law Review.
"The editorial policy and control of the Law Review has evolved as well. From 1949 to 1968, a faculty editor and faculty committee published the lead section, while the Board of Student Editors prepared the student section. In 1968-69, the Board assumed control of the entire publication. In 2001, the Board of Editors increased the number of issues per Volume from four to five."
