Review the past year's decisions of the Supreme Court. Assign each editor with one decision, and ask the editor to work with a noted law professor to analyze the Supreme Court's decision. Make each writing part of one of the law journal's chapters to create a Supreme Court Overview.
Create a collection of your state's highest court's decisions. These decisions can be in one particular area, such as criminal law. Assign every staff member with one or two cases, and ask each staff member to write an article about the case. Include a compilation of these purviews in one law journal to create a state court purview collection.
Select one area of law to focus on for one law journal edition. For example, focus on civil rights cases or cases involving prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Contact experts in that area of law, and request that individual to work with you to produce articles for that edition. Ask the experts if they may be speaking on the subject and if you can work from the transcript to create an article. Compile articles from the experts, and publish a collection of articles focused on that area of law.
Create an edition based upon current legal issues. For example, focus your law journal on legal issues related to the federal healthcare plan or stem cell research. Work with lawyers, judges and professors to create articles for the law journal to create one law journal publication devoted to current legal issues.
