Law Professor Slams Law Reviews for Impracticality

Professor and former dean Gerald Uelmen laments that law reviews have become less useful to practicing lawyers and judges, contrasting the time several decades ago when judges often turned to law reviews for guidance with today. But he predicts that law reviews won't go away anytime soon, since employers still value law review experience, which does indeed help students' writing skills. Gerald F.
