This Article provides tips and caveats that general and specialty law reviews and journals alike can use to their benefit. Specifically, the Author stresses the importance of the proper use of faculty for soliciting articles and a law review's establishment of guidelines to address various problems associated with author and article selection. Substantive Editing versus Technical Editing: How Law Review Editors Do Their Job Anne Enquist 451 Law review editors often have a hard time adjusting to their new role of evaluating and critiquing the work of professors and established legal scholars, resulting in entire editorial boards missing fundamental problems in a particular article. The Author provides a solution to this problem by recommending the adoption of two separate phases of editing - a substantive editing phase, which addresses what the article actually communicates, and a technical editing phase, which addresses the form the author uses to communicate. As examples for any law review to follow, the Author provides two substantive edits of two different author submissions as appendices to the Article. Citation Frustrations - And Solutions Darby Dickerson 477 Checking the substantive and technical validity of citations is an important - yet frustrating - part of a law review's duty. This Article addresses the frustrations experienced by law review staff members, editors, and authors. After identifying common problems, the Author presents various solutions and emphasizes the importance of training and communication among all involved in the publication process. In addition, the Author provides a model of completing citation checks that any law review is welcome to use and adapt. Law Reviews, Judicial Opinions, and Their Relationship to Writing Honorable Abner J Mikva 521 In his keynote address at the close of the National Conference of Law Reviews 2000, the Honorable Abner J. Mikva provided insight and advice that can be utilized by law students and lawyers alike. While the overall law review experience should be highly valued, the Author suggests that most legal writing is too long and overly footnoted - a refreshing viewpoint on the status of law review scholarship.
