He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is or was a requirement).

I saw a post here earlier that said that he was president of the law review not editor.
Until the 1970's the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. ... That system came under attack in the 1970's and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition.
He did it on a popularity contest. Exactly how he became President of the US, no qualifications or exceptional abilities, but very popular.
