Membership in the Law Review is among the highest honors and responsibilities
that a student can receive in law school. Members develop their skills in legal
research, writing, analysis, editing and publishing.
There are three ways to obtain membership:
(1) Top 10% of class: Law Review memberships are offered to
second and third-year law students who are in the top 10 percent of their
class.
(2) Legal Writing Class Rank: top two students from each
Legal Research and Writing class, based on total number of points accumulated in
the class, provided that the grades of those students are that of an A- or
better. If two or more individuals receive the exact number of points in the
Legal Research and Writing class, all tied individuals will receive an
invitation.
(3) Write-On Competition: Invitations also are offered to
students who demonstrate excellent writing and analytical skills in this writing
competition.
The Law Review is managed by an Executive Board of seven editors. In
addition, the Review is comprised of approximately 10 associate editors and 25
to 40 staff members.
