Nancy Leong and Jennifer Mullins have posted some more data (in a paper entitled "Preliminary Data: Gender and Student Note Publication 1999-2009") on the proportion of student notes authored by men and women at a number of top law reviews. I've been interested for a very long time in issues of gender balance in law reviews — and in particular in book reviews at Law and History Review.
I'm thinking that I'd like to know something about the proportion of men and women on each of these reviews over this period, to put into somewhat better context the percentage of notes that are authorer by men and women.
This is a constant topic in the legal academic blogosphere, of course. For instance, we talked a little bit about Minna Kotkin's similar article a few years back, on the percentage of women who author articles in elite law journals.
