For over sixty-five years, the South Carolina Law Review and its predecessor publications have chronicled legal education and scholarship in South Carolina. As the Year Book of the Selden Society, then as the South Carolina Law Quarterly and then the South Carolina Law Review, the publication has mirrored and aided the development of legal scholarship in South Carolina, while reporting the growth of the University of South Carolina School of Law and the South Carolina Bar. Since 1937, the publication has progressed from a provincial chronicle of law school events to an established academic journal with a worldwide readership. Over time, the publication has gradually gained autonomy from those institutions that supported and funded its creation. Through article selection, issue advocacy, editorial opinion and institutional ambition, student editors at the University of South Carolina School of Law (“USC Law School”) have influenced the last fifty years of legal practice in South Carolina.
The South Carolina Law Review has two primary purposes: (1) to publish an authoritative legal journal and (2) to provide members with practical experience in legal writing and analysis. Additionally, the Law Review hosts an annual legal symposium for practicing lawyers, legal scholars, and the community at large. Second and third-year law students independently select articles for publication, manage the editorial process from draft to print, and oversee all operational aspects of the Law Review. While the Editorial Board consists of members in their third year of law school, the Editorial Staff consists of members in their second year of law school. As part of the Editorial Staff, second-year students gain valuable practical experience in legal writing, research, and analysis through first-level editing and completion of a student note or comment. Law Review members have the opportunity to publish their student note in the Survey of South Carolina Law, an annual special issue of the Law Review addressing recent state and national legal developments and their impact on South Carolina law.
