contents and context

The liibulletin is a Cornell Law School electronic journal. Its editorial board comprises second- and third-year law students, who are responsible for every aspect of the journal's management, from selecting decisions for commentary to researching, writing, editing, and producing the journal content in HTML. From 1995-2004, it covered the New York Court of Appeals. Since 2004-05, the bulletin has covered cases currently before the US Supreme Court. Bulletin content is available on this site and by (free) email subscription. See the Cornell Chronicle's 2004 article and 2007 article on this liibulletin project.

Congratulations to the 2012-2013 editorial board!
