It analyzes why law reviews developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and describes how three different waves of criticism have reflected shifting professorial, professional and pedagogical concerns about the genre. Recent editorial reforms and the inauguration of on-line services and electronic law journals appear to solve some of the law review's traditional problems, but the author suggests that these procedural and technological modifications leave the basic criticisms of the law review system unmet. In this context, the author proposes that legal writers self-publish on the World Wide Web, as he has done in an extended version of the present piece. This strategy would give legal writers more control over the substance and form of their scholarship, would create more opportunities for spontaneity and creativity, and would promote more direct dialogue between legal thinkers.

In this segment I outline the trajectory of the paper and then discuss the legal, social and educational circumstances that led a few maverick law professors at Yale and later Columbia to entertain the radical notion of teaching non-resident students by mail at roughly the same time that Christopher Columbus Langdell was developing the case method at Harvard. I give extended consideration to the disruption of the antebellum law school structure by the Civil War, the passion for innovation of all sorts that swept the United States in the late 1860s and 1870s, critical changes in the American postal and transportation infrastructure that effectively wired the country for correspondence instruction, and early experiments in extension and correspondence education in England and the United States after 1867 that appeared to demonstrate proof of concept in advance of the Yale and Columbia experiments.

Lawyers live and work in physical space, and they deal with other lawyers and with clients who also have at least some measure of physicalized existence. Where something is done subtlyand sometimes not so subtly-affects how and even what is done; thus, as lived experience, lawyering in Pittsburgh inevitably differs from lawyering in New York or London or Albuquerque.

This article challenges that contention, arguing that in law as in other disciplines, the reach, dynamism and interactivity of the Internet offer opportunities for the development of new scholarly publishing paradigms - in particular, archives and "knowledge networks" - which have the potential to enrich and envigorate legal learning more than even the most progressive electronic legal journals.

They usually do not list Internet-based "virtual public service" (VPS) in their reports, perhaps because this activity is not yet fully defined or formally recognized as public service. However, many academic computing environments possess the resources to house VPS efforts. Most universities operate a large public Web site, and many universities also offer Web-based course management systems such as Blackboard or WebCT as instructional supports. In contrast to other public sites, such systems tend to be restricted to internal audiences and typically exist to support college courses, thereby functioning as siloed, temporary repositories of knowledge (Cohn 2004; Cohn and Hibbitts 2004). Universities also host both public and private journal Web sites, center Web sites, and even academic blogs.
