62. With all manner of law review scholarship becoming increasingly available
electronically as the decade progressed, see, e.g., Questionnaire Response, Patrick Byrd,
Boardwalk Pipeline (Mar. 29, 2012) (on file with Houston Law Review), Boards 47 and 48
recognized the need to be responsive to the rapidly changing technology of the day.
According to Board 48 Editor in Chief Michelle Gray, “I think that during my tenure an
underlying current was, what does the future look like? How are we going to change to be
a journal of the future? And [HLRe] was our step to test the waters.” Decade 5 Oral
History, supra note 51 (quoting Michelle Gray, Editor in Chief of Board 48).

63. By the end of Decade 5, the reduction in class sizes, attributable in some
measure to continued uncertainty surrounding the legal job market nationwide, resulted
in the removal of two editorial positions from the masthead to “ensure a smooth
transition” between Boards 50 and 51. Decade 5 Oral History, supra note 51 (quoting
Peter Danysh, Editor in Chief of Board 50).

64. Among the more enjoyable aspects of these essays, when the archive containing
the research materials supporting them is opened in due course, will be the series of oral
histories on which much of the narratives are based. Unless otherwise noted, all of the
materials in this section are drawn from the HLR Advisors Oral History of Houston Law
Review, with Professor Laura Oren, moderator, and Professors David Dow and Robert
Ragazzo, all members of the University of Houston Law Center faculty, in Houston, TX
