University of Chicago Law Review

The University of Chicago Law Review (Maroonbook abbreviation: U Chi L Rev) is a law journal published by the University of Chicago Law School. It uses a different citation system than most law journals—the Maroonbook rather than the Bluebook. It is published quarterly in print and also has an online companion, The University of Chicago Law Review Online.

The Law Review and was established in 1933. From 1942 through 1945 the review was published by the faculty, due to World War II. Prominent former student members have included Judge Abner J. Mikva, Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, Princeton University president Christopher L. Eisgruber, and professor Geoffrey R. Stone (all editors-in-chief); Judges Frank H. Easterbrook, Douglas H.

Oaks; and co-founder of The Carlyle Group, David M. Rubenstein.
