Resumen de The Durham Statement Two Years Later: Access in the Law School Journal Environment

Richard A. Danner, Kelly Leong, Wayne V. Miller

• The Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarship, drafted by a group of academic law library directors, was promulgated in February 2009. It calls for two things: (1) open access publication of law school�published journals; and (2) an end to print publication of law journals, coupled with a commitment to keeping the electronic versions available in �stable, open, digital formats.� The two years since the Statement was issued have seen increased publication of law journals in openly available electronic formats, but little movement toward all-electronic publication. This article discusses the issues raised by the Durham Statement, the current state of law journal publishing, and directions forward.
