Barack Obama was the Editor, and usually editors supervise the writing of others. We do know that he wrote several articles for the Review, including one about abortion and the law. We also know that he was a research assistant to a famous law professor named Lawrence Tribe and helped with several of Tribe's journal articles, as well as with a book Tribe was writing.

Obama held this role at the Harvard law journal?

He was elected president of the Harvard Law Review (students "grade" or "write on" to the review, then the president is elected by their peers). He was the first black president of HLR. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedailymirror/2008/09/barack-obama-ha.html


Did President Obama write for Harvard law review?

No. It's rather extraordinary that someone who was in academia for so long has never written anything but his own autobiographies. The authorship of an unsigned 1990 article in the Review regarding the right of a fetus to sue his mother for unintentional prenatal injuries has been attributed to Barack Obama and was confirmed by his 2008 presidential campaign. That is believed to be his only article in the Review despite his having been President of the Review during the 1990-1991 academic year.


Is the President of the Harvard Law review responsible for writing letters?

The Harvard Law Review is an academic journal published at the Law School. Barack Obama was the Review's first African-American editor. As the editor, his job duties varied, but they generally did not include writing letters-- it is usually readers who write to the publication, often commenting on an article. Sometimes, an editor will write an "editor's note" where a particular issue is explained or a reaction to a reader's comment is made. Editors also write or co-write articles for the journal, and they supervise the selection of articles that will be published in the journal.


Did Barack Obama write anything as head of Harvard Law Review?

Yes he did, and at least one (perhaps two) of his articles is available to the general public. But as editor, his job was mainly to supervise and oversee the scholarly articles that would go into the Review. Also, during that time, he was busy doing research and helping his adviser, the noted professor and scholar Lawrence Tribe, who was writing a book; there is evidence he helped Professor Tribe with at least one article as well.


What was Michelle Obama's doctoral dissertation?

He would probably not have written a thesis for his undergraduate degree, and as for his Law Degree, if he had to write a dissertation, it would remain on file in the university archives or in the college's Law Library. Some universities make these papers public, while others do not without permission from the student. (It should be noted that when a school declines to make a student's papers public, that does not mean there is anything to hide. Where famous alumni are concerned, many schools prefer to make dissertations and theses available only to researchers, or to people who have a legitimate need to read them.)
