The Michigan State Law Review is an American law review published by students at Michigan State University College of Law. By counting “flagship” journals not separately ranked by Washington & Lee School of Law (W&L Law) in its Law Journal Rankings, Michigan State Law Review was the 63rd highest-ranked “flagship” print journal in 2022 with a score of 14.55 out of 100 and, per W&L Law, the 99th overall law journal,[1] a dramatic increase from its ranking of 332rd in 2003.[2] The journal hosts an annual academic conference of global legal experts with past events covering issues such as autonomous vehicles, quantitative legal analysis, civil rights, and intellectual property.[3] Professor David Blankfein-Tabachnick has served as Faculty Advisor of the journal since his appointment in 2016.[4] In 2018, the journal began publishing an annual "Visionary Article Series," which features the work of one prominent legal scholar per year.[5]

Michigan State Law Review has published the works of numerous legal scholars, such as Robert Post, a legal scholar and former dean of Yale Law School,[6] Mark Lemley, a professor at Stanford Law School and renowned intellectual property scholar,[7] Scott L. Kafker, a justice on the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts,[8] and Nathalie Martin, professor of consumer and bankruptcy law at University of New Mexico School of Law.[9] The journal has also published the scholarship of Dennis Archer, a former Michigan Supreme Court justice and an alumnus of the school.[10][11]
