William and Mary Law Review Revenue and Competitors

Since 1957, the William and Mary Law Review has published important scholarly work and has become one of the top general interest law journals in the country. Published six times per year—in October, November, February, March, April, and May—the Review has featured the work of noted scholars in all areas of the law. During the last decade, state and federal courts, including the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, and D.C. Circuit Courts of Appeal, have cited the William & Mary Law Review more than four hundred times. This summer, Justice Alito cited to the William & Mary Law Review in his majority opinion in Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, 140 S. Ct. 2049, 2060 (2020).
