What are the parts that are required during Write-On?
Bluebook Citation Quiz
The Bluebook Quiz is designed to evaluate applicants’ ability to correct citations and verify that citations accurately support the assertions they reference. It consists of 20 citation corrections and 20 multiple-choice authority-checking questions.
Case Note Outline
Applicants will analyze a recent Minnesota Supreme Court case using a provided packet of supporting materials—no outside research required. Rather than writing a full case note, applicants will submit an outline and abstract, showcasing their thesis development and argument organization.
Personal Statement
The Personal Statement allows applicants to showcase their interest in Law Review and what they will contribute to the team. In 400–600 words, applicants will articulate why they want to join Law Review and how their skills, experiences, and perspectives will enhance the publication. This component evaluates both writing ability and the applicant’s potential to contribute meaningfully to the Law Review community.
