Student-Edited Journals
Student scholarship through participation on law journal editorial boards is an important academic opportunity for law students. All journals are student-run and each publishes articles by law professors and legal practitioners from across the country and around the world. Exceptional law student articles are also published in each journal.
Being part of a law journal staff is an excellent way for law students to critically engage in current legal issues and to collaborate closely with other students to study the nuances of contemporary legal scholarship. The experience enhances writing, editing and citation-checking skills.
