To be considered for Law Review or Law Journal membership, you must participate in the Write-on Competition and have completed at least the first-year day, second-year evening, second-year PLEAS programs or the first year of SCALE. The 2009 competition will take place immediately following spring final exams beginning on:
Monday, May 18, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. and ending on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. for all traditional students who have completed at least the first-year day, second-year evening, or second-year PLEAS programs; and
- Wednesday, May 20, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. and ending on Friday, May 22, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. for all SCALE students who have completed the first year.
The Write-on Competition requires submitting a short paper (maximum seven pages, double-spaced) in response to a closed-universe problem. No outside research is permitted, and students may not consult outside sources. Students will only have access to a downloadable copy of the problem from the Law Review and Law Journal Write-on Competition TWEN page. Instructions to add a TWEN page may be downloaded (PDF).
All submissions must be received by the Law Review Office, or be submitted through the Law Review and Law Journal Summer Write-on Competition TWEN page. The deadline for submitting a Write-on Competition paper will be strictly enforced. Under no circumstances will the deadline be extended. Neither the Law Review nor the Law Journal are responsible for any difficulties students may face in uploading their submission.
Please direct questions to: Law Review, Law Journal or the Student Affairs Office.
