Abstract

This article describes how academic law librarians looking to make a positive impact for racial diversity, equity, and inclusivity could explore ways to support diversification efforts of law reviews and journals. At many law schools, law reviews and journals struggle to be fully inclusive. Lack of diversity on journals contributes to inequity within the legal profession as many of the most prestigious law jobs look for journal participation as a prerequisite. Academic law librarians are well-placed to help journal student-editors implement best practices such as using evidence-based rubrics, undergoing unconscious-bias training, and actively recruiting diverse students.
