My law review had us all pile into the library to do the cite check bullshit and divided up responsibilities by having everybody in that week take an equal number of pages. What nobody seemed to realize is that TCR was to grab the last section, because it was always a conclusion that had vastly fewer footnotes and almost all of them were "Id. at blah blah blah." I would grab that section, be done in an hour, vanish to do my own thing for two hours, and reappear just as everybody was finishing. Nobody noticed.

This is a fair question. I wasn't jaded then as I am now and took the idea of it being a potentially important career-long credential seriously. But nobody cared when I left my first and only biglaw firm (six years). Now of course I'm an in-house fag and nobody cares that I was on law review.

lol. My early cultural struggles with biglaw all revolved around efficiency. I quickly learned to do something in 2 hours but not say it was done until 8 hours later.

I was pretty surprised too. Basic logic suggests you would divide it up by footnote numbering, not page numbering. Even then the conclusion would be better because those footnotes are easier, but at least it would be far more equal.

we had to do our cite checks with paper books, no Lexis or WL allowed. Theoretically it was because WL might make an error in scanning, so we needed to look at the "real" source. But I'm sure it was just hazing

and the only reason you do htis is to perpetuate the fake notion of "rigor" for scholarship that NO ONE WILL READ OR CARE ABOUT other than profs trying to get paid $300k a year to jerk off

literally nothing about any aspet of law review has any importance in the real world

Law review is properly viewed as law schools outsourcing their tenure decisions to a vast army of volunteer employees who are paid only in "experience." It really is shocking that only the (((legal))) profession works this way.

We literally went to the university's main library to look at newspaper articles on microfiche (or whatever the fuck it was) rather than rely on Westlaw/Lexis. We actually did find a mistake once-- it seems Lexis had the article we were citing in A4 of that day's NY Times, when it was really A5. We updated the cite accordingly. Crisis adverted!
