Law Review Circulations Plunge

No major law review had more than 2,000 paying subscribers in 2011.

No major law review had more than 2,000 paying subscribers in 2011, according a George Mason law professor Ross E. Davies, who studied U.S. Postal Service data. Starting last year, the postal system required law reviews to track and report their circulation numbers.

The Harvard Law Review remains the top journal, but its paid circulation has dropped from 10,000 in the '60s and the '70s to just 1,896 last year. While the Stanford Law Review website claims 2,600 subscribers to the print edition, postal records showed only 974 paid subscribers and a total 1,206 copies printed, Davies reported.
