Catatan saya sebelum ini ada menyebutkan berkenaan jurnal Harvard Law Review yang diterbitkan oleh Harvard Law Review Association yang ditubuhkan dan dianggotai oleh sekumpulan penuntut Harvard Law School. Presiden Harvard Law Review 1990-1991 ialah Barack Obama.
Satu artikel yang diterbitkan oleh portal politik POLITICO pada 23 Jun 2008 bertajuk Obama kept Law Review balanced menggambarkan jurnal Harvard Law Review seperti berikut:
"In Obama's time, as it is today, the Harvard Law Review was one of the most important and distinguished legal publications in the world. Founded in 1887, it is the rare self-supporting legal publication compiled and edited completely by students, typically those attending their second or third year at the prestigious school."
Selanjutnya pengarang artikel tersebut mencatatkan pernyataan berikut:
"After winning a spot on the Review, Obama beat out 18 other contenders to become the first African-American president in the then-103-year history of the Review, and his duties included leading discussions and debates to determine what to print from the mountain of submissions from judges, scholars and authors from across the country, supervising the thorough editing of each issue's contents and giving every article what's known as a "P-read" once it was finally considered ready for publication."
Berikut ialah gambar Barack Obama bersama sidang editor Harvard Law Review edisi 104 yang dirakamkan pada tahun 1991:
