A leading law journal has added a digital edition to its worldwide distribution, using quality ebook formatting, active links, and nested and detailed Tables of Contents for each article. This current issue of the Stanford Law Review contains studies of law, history, and social policy by recognized scholars on such diverse topics as fixing unfair contracts (by Omri Ben-Shahar), using DNA forensics to identify family members in criminal cases and other legal matters (by Natalie Ram), and the ethics of lawyers holding onto real evidence such as guns,tapes, and drugs (by Stephen Gillers).
In addition, extensive student work explores the history of religious freedom and the First Amendment, as well as the use of amicus curiae briefs in the Supreme Court after an opinion below is abandoned by a party.
The Stanford Law Review was organized in 1948. Each year the Law Review publishes one volume, which appears in six separate issues between December and July. Each issue contains material written by student members of the Law Review, other Stanford law students, and outside contributors, such as law professors, judges, and practicing lawyers. The current volume is 63, for the academic year 2010-2011, and the present compilation, in ebook form, represents Issue 4 for April 2011. Three previous issues in the volume are also available as NOOKBooks.
In the ebook editions, all footnotes, graphs, and Tables of Contents (including those for individual articles) are fully linked, properly scaled, and functional; the original note numbering is retained; and the issue is properly formatted for ereaders.
