Visionary Scholar Series

In 2018, the Michigan State Law Review launched the Visionary Scholar Series in which the Journal aims to recognize individuals who have contributed meaningful scholarship to their respective fields of law. Once per publication year, we honor a single legal scholar who has had a profound impact on a field of law by publishing a work of his or hers with a special designation.
