Well I guess my last pitiful argument would be that those law review
publications count towards tenure for law school faculty. Has anyone
ever compared the number of law reviews v. the number of business
journals and the publication rates? I am getting at how hard it is to
get into a law review as opposed to some business journals.

The faculty member tried that but it did not fly. She even got letters
to this effect.

Law Reviews always have a faculty advisor and often a panel of faculty
(Editorial Board) who review the articles that the student editors
prepare for publication. Shouldn't this be evidence of 'peer review'?

What a travesty for your colleague. Ginny Maurer actually helped me
immensely with this issue by pointing me to the AACSB definition of
"peer
reviewed" which technically does not state that the review must be by
other
faculty or practitioners, but rather by "expert", which could include
students. I suggest we all review that standard. I know at my college
the
Associate Dean has placed the "meaning of peer review" on the ad hoc (no
Legal Studies representation) Intellectual Contributions Task Force. It
is
clear where she is heading!

Hello,
First, I did not send this directly to Carol - did I miss her email
here?
Anyway, this has been a MAJOR problem at CMU. A faculty member did not
get tenure because she published articles ONLY in law reviews and this
despite we are a union shop and the bylaws said law reviews are
acceptable. The department said that since law reviews are not peer
reviewed, but student reviewed, they do not count for tenure at all. A
slightly different explanation was given up the chain or review for the
tenure denial.
On the other hand, the college did count them toward the AQ/PQ
requirements of AACSB. In our college just because something counts for
AQ status does not automatically mean it counts as a quality article for
tenure/promotion purposes.

Linda Samuels and I are researching a paper on Legal Studies
scholarship. One of the motivations for the paper is that some of our
ALSB colleagues have to fight this battle each year, usually to have
business colleagues recognize law reviews as scholarship. We envision
the paper as partly descriptive and educational in that ALSB colleagues
who need it can point to it as a statement that law reviews are
generally considered scholarship.
We would appreciate receiving your school's method of evaluating Legal
Studies scholarship. Please post it least to me and to Lucien Dhooge
(at "Lucien Dhooge" <[log in to unmask]>), who is collecting materials
on legal studies scholarship on behalf of ALSB. If you need it, a fax
number where I can receive documents is 866 774-6409 (a toll free
number).
Thank you.
