The Law Review is the result of several years of student, faculty and administration efforts to increase the opportunity for, and diversity of, scholarly legal publication at the Law School. A faculty committee developed the general framework for the Law Review and selected the first Editorial Board in the fall of 1993. The Board began organizational efforts in the spring of 1994. The first Symposium was held in March 1995 and publication of the inaugural issue was in May 1996. Since the inaugural issue, Widener Law Review has been cited in publications such as Harvard Law Review, Yale Law Journal, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Virginia Law Review, Harvard Journal on Legislation, Yale Journal of Policy, Law, and Ethics, Duke Law Review, and Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy, among many others.</p>\r\n<h5>Widener Law Review Volume XXVIII 2021-2022 Executive Board</h5>\r\n<p><strong>Editor-in-Chief&nbsp; </strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:mscarlson@widener.edu\">Madeline Carlson</a></p>\r\n<p><strong>Internal Managing Editor</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:qdavis1@widener.edu\">Quintessa Davis</a></p>\r\n<p><strong>External Managing Editor </strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:rmcandler@widener.edu\">Rebecca Candler</a></p>\r\n<p><strong>Articles Editors </strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:amkappauf@widener.edu\">Adriane Kappauf</a><br />Colombe Mongbo</p>\r\n<p><strong>Bluebook Editors </strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:afdugger@widener.edu\">Alicia Dugger</a><br /><a href=\"mailto:mcthompson@widener.edu\">Molly Thompson</a></p>\r\n<p><strong>Research Editor</strong><br /><a href=\"arroot@widener.edu\">Amanda Root</a><br /><a href=\"bjstokes@widener.edu\">Brittany Stokes</a></p>",
