Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“Three members of the board of trustees (dean martha minow, professor carol steiker, and professor elizabeth bartholet) are employed by harvard law school, and therefore have an indirect business relationship with one another.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“The harvard law review has a board of trustees that consists of the president and vice president/treasurer, the dean of the law school, two law school faculty members, and a law review alum who serves as the graduate treasurer. In addition to the board of trustees, the review has a board of overseers that consists of alumni who vote to approve certain major decisions (e.g. Constitutional changes and board of trustees membership decisions). Finally, the student members vote on constitutional changes, elect officers, and participate in the organization's day-to-day managerial decisions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“The board of overseers and the student members select the members of the board of trustees.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7B

“In order to amend or suspend the association's constitution or select a member of the board of trustees, both the board of overseers and the student members must approve the decision. Members can only be expelled on the vote of three-quarters of all active members.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“The association does not have additional committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“All members of the board of trustees were provided with a draft copy of the form 990 and invited to comment. The treasurer is responsible for reviewing these comments, communicating with the independent accounting firm to resolve any issues, and subsequently receiving, signing and filing the final version of the form 990.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“All editors and trustees are required to disclose any potential financial or nonfinancial conflicts to the president, and a written record of such conflicts are kept. Individuals with conflicts may not vote on any conflicted issues.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Governing documents and financial statements are available upon request by the public to any member of the board of trustees. In addition, certain governing documents and financial statements may be published online by the massachusetts secretary of state's office and the official website of the attorney general of massachusetts respectively.”

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B:

“The association does not directly compensate any of the top management personnel who provide services. The full-time individuals employed by the association are paid by harvard university. The association then reimburses harvard for these compensation costs.”

Form 990, Part VII

“George marshall moriarty - 800 boylston street, boston, ma 02199. Professor carol steiker - 1525 massachusetts ave, griswold 409, cambridge, ma 02138.

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“To maintain smooth functioning of the harvard law review as a publisher of high quality legal material.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The association is recognized as an organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the "code") whereby only unrelated business income, as defined by section 512(a)(1) of the code, is subject to federal income tax. The association did not have any unrelated business income in either of the years ended june 30, 2015 or 2014. The association assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax positions is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. The associations policy is to analyze its tax positions for all open tax years. The association has not identified any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with unrecognized income taxes are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of activities. The association is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any periods in progress.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0TO MAINTAIN SMOOTH FUNCTIONING OF THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW AS A PUBLISHER OF HIGH QUALITY LEGAL MATERIAL.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE ASSOCIATION IS RECOGNIZED AS AN ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE "CODE") WHEREBY ONLY UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, AS DEFINED BY SECTION 512(A)(1) OF THE CODE, IS SUBJECT TO FEDERAL INCOME TAX. THE ASSOCIATION DID NOT HAVE ANY UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME IN EITHER OF THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 OR 2014. THE ASSOCIATION ASSESSES THE LIKELIHOOD, BASED ON THEIR TECHNICAL MERIT, THAT TAX POSITIONS WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BASED ON THE FACTS, CIRCUMSTANCES AND INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT THE END OF EACH PERIOD. THE MEASUREMENT OF UNRECOGNIZED TAX POSITIONS IS ADJUSTED WHEN NEW INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE, OR WHEN AN EVENT OCCURS THAT REQUIRES A CHANGE. THE ASSOCIATIONS POLICY IS TO ANALYZE ITS TAX POSITIONS FOR ALL OPEN TAX YEARS. THE ASSOCIATION HAS NOT IDENTIFIED ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. INTEREST AND PENALTIES, IF ANY, ASSOCIATED WITH UNRECOGNIZED INCOME TAXES ARE CLASSIFIED AS ADDITIONAL INCOME TAXES IN THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES. THE ASSOCIATION IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY PERIODS IN PROGRESS.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THREE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (DEAN MARTHA MINOW, PROFESSOR CAROL STEIKER, AND PROFESSOR ELIZABETH BARTHOLET) ARE EMPLOYED BY HARVARD LAW SCHOOL, AND THEREFORE HAVE AN INDIRECT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW HAS A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTS OF THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT/TREASURER, THE DEAN OF THE LAW SCHOOL, TWO LAW SCHOOL FACULTY MEMBERS, AND A LAW REVIEW ALUM WHO SERVES AS THE GRADUATE TREASURER. IN ADDITION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE REVIEW HAS A BOARD OF OVERSEERS THAT CONSISTS OF ALUMNI WHO VOTE TO APPROVE CERTAIN MAJOR DECISIONS (E.G. CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEMBERSHIP DECISIONS). FINALLY, THE STUDENT MEMBERS VOTE ON CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES, ELECT OFFICERS, AND PARTICIPATE IN THE ORGANIZATION'S DAY-TO-DAY MANAGERIAL DECISIONS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE BOARD OF OVERSEERS AND THE STUDENT MEMBERS SELECT THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3IN ORDER TO AMEND OR SUSPEND THE ASSOCIATION'S CONSTITUTION OR SELECT A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, BOTH THE BOARD OF OVERSEERS AND THE STUDENT MEMBERS MUST APPROVE THE DECISION. MEMBERS CAN ONLY BE EXPELLED ON THE VOTE OF THREE-QUARTERS OF ALL ACTIVE MEMBERS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4THE ASSOCIATION DOES NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMITTEES WITH THE AUTHORITY TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNING BODY.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WERE PROVIDED WITH A DRAFT COPY OF THE FORM 990 AND INVITED TO COMMENT. THE TREASURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING THESE COMMENTS, COMMUNICATING WITH THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUES, AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVING, SIGNING AND FILING THE FINAL VERSION OF THE FORM 990.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6ALL EDITORS AND TRUSTEES ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE ANY POTENTIAL FINANCIAL OR NONFINANCIAL CONFLICTS TO THE PRESIDENT, AND A WRITTEN RECORD OF SUCH CONFLICTS ARE KEPT. INDIVIDUALS WITH CONFLICTS MAY NOT VOTE ON ANY CONFLICTED ISSUES.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST BY THE PUBLIC TO ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IN ADDITION, CERTAIN GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY BE PUBLISHED ONLINE BY THE MASSACHUSETTS SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE AND THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MASSACHUSETTS RESPECTIVELY.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt8THE ASSOCIATION DOES NOT DIRECTLY COMPENSATE ANY OF THE TOP MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL WHO PROVIDE SERVICES. THE FULL-TIME INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED BY THE ASSOCIATION ARE PAID BY HARVARD UNIVERSITY. THE ASSOCIATION THEN REIMBURSES HARVARD FOR THESE COMPENSATION COSTS.
