Peer review would likely prevent the publication of repetitive scholarship, or work by authors who appear ignorant of key articles in the field.

Mike is right to blame us. We're young and we often don't know the literature as well as we should.

Leave aside knowing something from another field; if you've been in school for longer, you've had longer to read past legal scholarship. I'm acutely conscious that one of the things I need to be doing is reading classics of legal scholarship; it's also unfortunately one of the easiest things to slight when time pressure gets to be too much.
