Thinking Outside the Search Box
Many law review authors begin and end their search for topic ideas with searching online. However, make sure to take advantage of other opportunities for developing ideas:
1. Class Discussions and Readings often identify open questions in the law
2. Casebooks and Hornbooks will also often point out open issues or areas of controversy
3. Faculty Members are often glad to discuss open issues with students in their areas of expertise
4. Pre-Law-School Experience can help identify issues that aren't on the legal radar but are essential to people working in that field
