Three Facts About the University of Illinois Law Review


  1. It has published quite a number of important Internet and IP articles in the last few years, including Mark McKenna’s Trademark Use and the Problem of Source, William McGeveran’s Disclosure, Endorsement, and Identity in Social Marketing, and Paul Ohm’s The Rise and Fall of Invasive ISP Surveillance.

  2. It is relatively unusual among law reviews in that it numbers its volumes by the year, rather than sequentially from 1. That makes its citations shorter: Lawrence Claus’s The Empty Idea of Authority is at “2009 U. Ill. L. Rev. 1301” rather than something like “61 U. Ill. L. Rev. 1301 (2009)”.

  3. Sealand, HavenCo, and the Rule of Law will appear in its 2012 volume.


Congrats on such an awesome placement!
