Fill out this registration form to sign up for the Mitchell Hamline Law Review write-on process. Registration closes Sunday, May 14, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. CST.
WHAT IS LAW REVIEW?
The Mitchell Hamline Law Review is composed of articles written by students, professors, and practitioners discussing relevant legal topics. This publication is entirely student managed and is available on Westlaw, Lexis, and the MHLR website. Check out Volume 49’s current issue here.
HOW DO I JOIN?
Students can apply for Law Review by participating in and completing the write-on process. Write-on takes place after finals, and over the course of three weeks: from May 22 – June 11, 2023. Applicants will complete a Bluebook quiz and write a case note (an analysis of a recent Minnesota Supreme Court decision). All grading will be anonymous. Successful applicants will be notified in early July, prior to Mitchell Hamline’s Summer Recruitment Program (OCI) application deadline.
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 in 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.
