Adding Legal Research To The Bar Exam: What Would The Exercise Look Like?, Patrick J. Meyer
Akron Law Review

The "academic scholarship" to which Cardozo referred related principally to the articles appearing in law reviews of the law schools during that period in time. Almost immediately upon their establishment, the student-edited law reviews became a significant and lasting feature of legal education in the United States.
