Legal Commentary

One of my favorite expressions about what it feels like to begin any new endeavor is the so-called Rule of 99: for every one thing you learn, you also learn that there're 99 things you don't know.  I certainly think that's true of law practice.  And I also think it's true about becoming a prof.

I was curious whether other newbies like me (I just started year 2) have questions that they'd like to ask more senior members of the academy under the anonymity-preserving canopy of the net.  I'll start with something very tame, but about which I'm intensely curious: how do you choose where to place law review articles?  I've asked around and received a variety of answers: (1) US News, (2) W&L rankings, (3) US News peer assessment score, and (4) student quality.
