What exactly is a law review article?

Q: I have a paper to write today... its a summary of a law review article for law class. I'm just a little unsure exactly what it is i'm supposed to summarize. I found a document from the university of washington's Shidler Journal of Law, Commerce and Technology. 3 Shidler J. L. Com & Tech. 8Does that look like a law review article to you? Thanks... gotta have it done pretty soon.

A: Yes, that would be a law review article. Law review is basically a publication put out by a law school with articles regarding legal issues. The articles are written both by students in the school (though those are usually called "notes" not articles) and by outside sources. Basically, any article from a Law school's law journal would be a law review article. That looks to me like what you've got.
