Aims & Scope
The University of Chicago Law Review was first published in 1933, thirty-one years after the Law School began offering classes.
Joseph Beale, the first Dean of the Law School, and William Rainey Harper, the first President of the University, wanted to establish a law review sooner.
The reasons for the delay, according to a letter from Professor James Parker Hall, included the small size of the faculty, the work accompanying the organization and early operations of the Law School, and, most significantly, the cost of publication.
