For the first time in its 136-year history, the Harvard Law Review has its first Indian-American woman president.

Apsara Iyer has been elected the 137th President of the Harvard Law Review, one of the oldest student-run legal scholarship publications in the US. Iyer's predecessors include former US President Barack Obama and eminent Supreme Court Justice late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Apsara Iyer, a second-year student at Harvard Law School, graduated from Yale in 2016 and received a bachelor's degree in Economics and Math and Spanish.

The Harvard Crimson said on 6 February 2023 that Iyer joined the Harvard Law Review following a competitive process called "write-on," where Harvard Law School students "rigorously fact-check a document and provide commentary on a recent State or Supreme Court Case."
