The series of Health Law Symposia issues ceased after 2000. See infra notes 24–25 &
accompanying text.

    24. Ensuring timely submissions of articles by symposia authors, for example,
proved to be a recurring problem for both the Institute and the Review, and discussions to
establish a long-term relationship between the parties seem never to have produced a
resolution fully satisfactory to either.

    25. The Journal published Volume 1, Issue 1 in 2001, with a lead article by Seth J.
Chandler and Mary Anne Bobinski, two members of the HLPI faculty. It is currently in
its 13th year of successful publication.

    26. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Oct. 27, 1983) (on file with Houston Law
Review).

    27. Perhaps reflecting the increasing size of the journal and growing excitement
about its prospects, attendance at the 1988 spring banquet—Board 25’s swan song—
topped 400. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Apr. 11, 1988) (on file with Houston Law
Review).

    28. “The 25th Anniversary of the Law Review was kind of a big deal. I recall the
People’s Lawyer, Richard Alderman, interviewing a number of us for a TV piece. I’m not
sure anyone ever actually watched it, but it was fun at the time.” Questionnaire
Response, Joe Tixier, Gallagher Bassett Service (Mar. 19, 2012) [hereinafter Tixier
Questionnaire] (on file with Houston Law Review).

    29. Somewhere along the way in Decade 3, the burdens created by publishing
numerous books and special issues led to a delay in the publication process. The first
publication of the Texas Rules of Evidence Handbook had, for example, set the Review six
months behind its publication schedule. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Apr. 14,
1983) (on file with Houston Law Review). As an unfortunate side effect, these delays led
to the uneven publication of volumes. Board 29, for example, could have expected to
publish issues spanning both Volumes 28 and 29.

             Following the publication of Issue 49:2 by the departing Board 49 (and with the
pendency of these historical essays looming), the student editors of Boards 49 and 50,
together with the Board of Directors and faculty advisors, recalibrated the numerical
publication cycle. Board 50’s five printed issues will be numbered 50:1 through 50:5. The
decision to number from 49:2 straight to 50:1 means little in terms of actual content, but
undoubtedly will cause fewer headaches among students and authors throughout Houston
Law Review’s next 50 years.

    30. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Apr. 12, 1984) (on file with Houston Law
Review).

    31. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Oct. 27, 1983) (on file with Houston Law
Review).

    32. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Apr. 12 1984) (on file with Houston Law
Review); Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Apr. 3, 1986) (on file with Houston Law
Review).

    34. Id.

    35. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes (Apr. 21, 1987) (on file with Houston Law
Review). As a reflection of the extra stresses posed by the publication of books and special
issues, Board 21’s editors gave Board 22’s members an alternative to the traditional note
or comment path: rather than drafting a single comment or two separate casenotes (as
