[edit] Selection Using a competitive process that takes into account first-year grades, an editing exercise, and a written commentary on a court decision, The Harvard Law Review selects between 41 and 43 editors annually from the second-year Law School class, which numbers 560. Two editors from each of first-year class's seven sections (fourteen in all) are selected half by their first year grades and half by their scores on the writing competition. Another twenty are selected solely on their scores on the writing competition. The other seven to nine are selected by a discretionary committee, either to fulfill the review's race-based affirmative action program, to select students who just missed the cut by either of the other two processes, or by some other criteria as the committee sees fit.

	reviewjournal.com -- News: Nevada court's tax ruling criticized by law review (1102 words) The article was printed in January by the law review, a student-run organization with the primary purpose of publishing a journal of legal scholarship. Hettrick, who was unavailable for comment on the Harvard article, said in June the various agency budgets already approved by lawmakers should be reopened to reduce the size of the tax increase needed to fund education. The law review article also said the court misapplied its own court rule by saying substantive provisions in law (the requirement that public education be funded) carry more weight than procedural provisions (the two-thirds requirement to raise taxes). THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY - HARVARD LAW REVIEW - 1890 (4191 words) Owing to the nature of the instruments by which privacy is invaded, the injury inflicted bears a superficial resemblance to the wrongs dealt with by the law of slander and of libel, while a legal remedy for such injury seems to involve the treatment of mere wounded feelings, as a substantive cause of action. Indeed, it is difficult to conceive on what theory of the law the casual recipient of a letter, who proceeds to publish it, is guilty of a breach of contract, express or implied, or of any breach of trust, in the ordinary acceptation of that term. The design of the law must be to protect those persons with whose affairs the community has no legitimate concern, from being dragged into an undesirable and undesired publicity and to protect all persons, whatsoever; their position or station, from having matters which they may properly prefer to keep private, made public against their will.
