This important work is a three part study that includes a legal and historical review of the unique place of law reviews in American legal education as well as the nature and stature of the reviews and the varying careers the top reviews have had in the 20th century. Thirdly Gutterman has written of his own law review career with a mordant and fascinating eye on the extremes of legal opinion (and behavior) a deadline can bring. The author also discusses the effects of the two major writing competitions specifically devoted to law review writing. The study includes an extensive discussion of plagiarism and other abuses found in L. Rev life.
An expert on communications law and the First Amendment, Roy Gutterman is director of the Newhouse School's Tully Center for Free Speech. He is a graduate of the Newhouse School and the Syracuse University College of Law. At Newhouse, Gutterman was the 2009-10 director of the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program. He also works with the Society of Professional Journalists student chapter and serves on academic integrity committees. After graduating from Newhouse, Gutterman worked as a reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, covering local and state government, crime, legal issues and general news. He later clerked for a New Jersey Superior Court judge and practiced business and general litigation. Gutterman writes and speaks on media law, free speech, the intersection between courts and journalists and legal education issues. He has delivered lectures at the Communication University of China in Beijing, Fudan University in Shanghai and National Chengchi University in Taipei. Gutterman is a program director for the Burton Foundation for Legal Achievement; on the faculty committee for the Government Accountability Project in Washington, D.C., and on the honorary dinner committee for FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. As an undergraduate, he worked at The Boston Globe; The Courier-News in Bridgewater, N.J. The Post-Standard in Syracuse; and The Daily Orange. While in law school, he served as editor-in-chief of the law review.
...This is a unique and powerfully written work on the law review as an institution and its relationship to American legal life. Beyond its obvious place in legal libraries, it should be in the personal libraries of aspiring law students and their mentors. John S. Karr, Esq.
