WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A LAW REVIEW ASSOCIATE?
Associates conduct authority checks, check citations, and make grammatical edits on assigned articles. Additionally, all Associates write a long paper during their time on law review, which satisfies the long paper requirement for graduation. MHLR publishes several student long papers every volume.
For their services, Associates earn 3 pass/fail academic credits for the school year. These credits can be applied in Fall, J-term, or Spring semesters.
WHY JOIN LAW REVIEW?
Associates gain significant experience and exposure to legal writing and citation. Additionally, law review is a great networking and leadership development opportunity as well as a resume builder, and opportunity to work with students across sections.
