S. C. LAW REVIEW WILL MAKE FIRST APPEARANCE SOON
Student Editor Announces Law School Publication Will Be Out Monday.
The long-awaited first issue of the Southern California Law Review will be out next Monday according to word given out today by its student-editor-in.chief, Edward Taylor. The necessity of making the Review scrupulously accurate is responsible for the delay, says Taylor.
The law review, which is the publication put out by the S. C. law school, is a magazine that has a national reputation. It is recommended by several professors of the leading eastern universities as being a publication that should be read by the law student.
The October issue will contain features written by prominent attorneys, Judges, and professors. The table of contents will also include articles written by students of the law school.
This year will be one of the big. gest years of the review. It is expected, since the set date for publication has been sacrificed to make the review a model for all other university legal publications.
