History

Prior to the founding of the Michigan State Law Review, the school published a periodical known as The Brief Case. Although this was met with approval, potential authors who were unaffiliated with the school requested to be published. In response, a law review was established. The Michigan State Law Review, then known as the Detroit Law Review, released its first publication in June 1931. At the time, the school was known as the Detroit College of Law. After seven years, the Detroit Law Review ceased publication in 1938, but was brought back for three issues during the 1947-48 academic year. Following another hiatus, the journal was revived in 1975.[6]

In conjunction with the school's integration into Michigan State University, the journal went through a series of name changes: Detroit College of Law Review (1975-1995), Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University Law Review (1995-1999), The Law Review of Michigan State University, Detroit College of Law (1999-2003), Michigan State DCL Law Review (2003-2003), and Michigan State Law Review (2003–present).[6]
