History
The National Law Review Vol. I, No. 1, January 1888

The National Law Review print edition was founded in 1888 in Philadelphia by legal publishers Kay & Brother.[3] It was a monthly scholarly law review which included sections such as Current Legal News, a Book Review section, a Digest of Important Decisions which summarized recent judicial decisions in various states, and a section devoted to Current Legal Thought organized by legal topic.[3] Historically, articles in law reviews were often considered a persuasive authority in American courts, though this influence is generally thought to be waning in recent years.[4]

The on-line edition of The National Law Review was developed in Chicago, Illinois by corporate attorney Jennifer Schaller and other in-house attorneys and internet professionals in order to provide an easily accessible and reliable database of articles written by experts analyzing legal news and trends.[5] The on-line edition has been described as more straightforward, practical and informative than a traditional law review, containing information of potential interest to both legal and business professionals,[6] and it often serves as a reference source to other legal periodicals.[7][8] In addition to serving as a source on emerging American legal issues to mainstream media,[9] the National Law Review provides several services of interest to practicing lawyers and law students, running, for example, a law student writing competition that has published articles on multiple areas of the law [10][11][12] and since 2018 has honored approximately 70 noteworthy legal authors each year through the National Law Review's Go To Thought Leadership Awards.[13]

In 2020, the National Law Review was certified by Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) as a U.S. Small Business Administration as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) which is a business that is at least 51% owned and operated on a daily basis by one or more female U.S Citizens. Additionally, in 2020, the National Law Review exceeded 25 million pageviews for the year and in January 2021[14], the news website specifically recognized law firm authors who contributed Coronavirus legal news with an exceptionally high number of readers and that were regularly cited by other news outlets as COVID-19 legal resource materials.[15]
