Report on the Second National Conference of Law Reviews

handle is hein.journals/nylr28 and id is 1011 raw text is: REPORT ON THE SECOND NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF LAW REVIEWS LAWRENCE KING AND RICHARD LIEB THE Second National Conference of Law Reviews' was held at the New York University School of Law on February 20-21, 1953. Representing 31 law reviews from all parts of the country,- 81 editors and staff members participated in the two-day meeting, the purpose of which was to provide for the interchange of ideas with respect to mutual editorial and personnel problems. The program consisted of forum discussions, committee meetings, addresses, general sessions, and, to further highlight the conclave, the delegates were invited to attend the two-day Marbury v. Madison Sesquicentennial Celebration.3 An invaluable result of the conference was the recognition that the same problems are shared by all law reviews. No attempt was made to isolate the ideal solution to a particular problem since it was believed most practicable to use the limited time for presentation of all available solutions. Furthermore, regional and size differences among the various reviews prevent the existence of a single solution to a stated problem. Yet the very opportunity for open discussion, with a concomitant recognition of the group responsibilities of law reviews to the bench, the bar and legal education, points up the neces- sity for continuing such gatherings in years to come. I FoRUM DIscussIONs Six topics were considered in forum meetings, each delegate par- ticipating in no less than four. An attempt was made to keep the LAwRmxcE KnG and RicHARD LEB, of the New York University Law Review, were the Conference Chairmen.
