Law Review and Publishing Your Article

Season Three, Episode Three discusses legal scholarship in two parts.

First, we talk about journals. In law school, journals are not the classic moleskin notebooks made for self-reflection. Journals are student-run volumes of scholarship—termed "law review." Every law school has multiple law reviews, with the Law Review, being the sought-after catch-all journal. You apply to journal at some point in the latter half of 1L. You actually join journal at the start of 2L as an Executive Editor (AE) and your job is to Bluebook your assigned footnotes in three stages: source hunt, first edit, second edit. If you want to stay on journal your third year, you can either be on board performing more of a managerial role. Or, you can be a Senior Editor (SE) where your primary responsibility remains Bluebooking.

Second, we talk about publishing your own article! I highly recommend supervision under a professor and seeking feedback on your work. Next, make a student Scholastica account to search and submit to journals. Finally, consider conferences, paper awards, and other opportunities to showcase your work.

I hope this was helpful! Leave your questions in the comments :)
