History
The Mitchell Hamline Law Review traces its origins to both the Hamline Law Review and William Mitchell Law Review. The Hamline Law Review released its first issue in 1978 and published over 700 articles throughout its thirty-five-year history.[3] In 1972, a student-faculty committee at the William Mitchell College of Law started the first ever law review published at a school with a part-time evening program. Under the guidance of Professor Michael Steenson, the William Mitchell Law Review published its first issue in 1974.[4]
In 2016, the Hamline Law Review and William Mitchell Law Review merged into the combined Mitchell Hamline Law Review.[5] Steenson has continues to serve as the faculty advisor for the joint law journal.[6]
Each year the law review recognizes members of the legal community who have made outstanding contributions to the legal profession during its annual banquet. Past award winners have included David Lillehaug and John Choi.[7]
