"As a former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Conflict Resolution, I'm incredibly proud to see this year's rankings. Journal rankings reflect scholarly citations over a five-year period. That means that the hard work of student editors -- selecting groundbreaking scholarship, working closely with authors, publicizing articles -- bears fruit far into the future. Thanks to Professor Love's thoughtful influence, dispute resolution has become embedded into Cardozo's DNA. Our students think of themselves as problem-solvers. And our Journal editors are well-versed in currently scholarly conversations about novel ways that legal problems can be solved. It's so gratifying to know that academics trust our Journal as an important place to share their ideas. Our editors work hard to earn that trust."
