Obama kept Law Review balanced
From Politico:

Barack Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review in 1990 gave him his first moment of national fame, a powerful intellectual credential and a sweet book deal. It was also his first electoral victory, won in part by convincing the conservative minority of law students that he would treat them fairly.

While the title and election have become well-known parts of Obama's personal story, the substance of his actual work on the Review, where he spent at least 50 hours a week, has received little attention.

Obama might have had it right back when he was running the journal, where he reportedly ended minor disputes with the words, "Just remember, folks: Nobody reads it."
