Gender and Law Reviews

By propertyprof

ADVERTISEMENTS

Thanks to our friends over at feministlawprofs, I see that we now have Nancy Leong's study of the percentage of notes in leading law journals that are written by women.  (The punchline is that it's smaller than you'd expect, given the number of women in law school and at some schools, smaller than you would expect given the number of women on law review.)  This study runs alongside Minna Kotkin's study from last fall about the percentage of articles in leading law journals by women, which we spoke about here.

Gender bias has been much in the legal academic blogosphere of late (like Jason Mazzone's creatively titled "Constitutional Law as Computer Science").

I have a deep concern over the number of women writing in legal history.  There are a lot of implications, not the least of which is the way that skews what is studied in legal history and the areas that are left unstudied.   

I'm flagging this because I hope and expect to have some more thoughts on this shortly--as soon as I dig myself out of the piles of work on my desk.
