Jarvis* Numerous articles over the years have implored the staffs of the na- tion's law reviews to act with greater professionalism and to become more aware of their ethical duties and obligations.' No articles, however, appear to have focused on the ethical duties and obligations of law review authors.

B.A., Northwestern University; J.D., Uni- versity of Pennsylvania; LL.M., New York University. The author wishes to thank Professor Phyllis G. Coleman of the Nova University Law Center for her invaluable assistance and en- couragement in the preparation of this Article. Prior to its publication, this Article was deliv- ered as part of a program on law reviews and ethics at the 1989 National Conference of Law Reviews held in Toledo, Ohio. 1.
