"[The Law Review] is an extraordinarilyexclusive white male preserve," Bartholet said. "Ithink the notion that a group of people on theLaw Review could have thought the parodyedition a funny joke is an example of what kind ofinstitution it is."
But, in addition to Schulman, others criticalof the parody put a hopeful spin on their visionof the journal's future.
Susan Estridge, the first female president ofthe Law Review in 1977, shares Schulman'swish that the Revue debacle does notfurther inhibit women from joining theInstitution.
"In the interest of [fighting] sexism, weshouldn't boycott an institution headed by awoman," said Estridge, a law professor at theUniversity of Southern California.
Estridge said the Revue "reflects poorlyon a small number of students who are graduating,"but not on the Law Review as a whole.
Professor Andrew L. Kaufman '51 concurred."After all, the Review did publish thearticle," he said, referring to the subject of theparody, an unfinished article written by Frug andpublished posthumously.
"That's the official action of theReview and attitudes towards thepublication ought to be judged by that," Kaufmansaid
