Good Luck to Those About to Start Law Review Write On Competitions
The Write-On Competition, an annual rite of passage for students seeking membership to academic journals at the University of Houston Law Center, begins this Saturday, July 5th. I wrote on to law review last year and consider the past year worth every agonizing minute of the competition. I’ve already given what scant advice I have […]
Why Law Reviews Don’t Go Gently Into That Good Night
In a strange, to some infuriating, subversion of the typical law school social order (student is to prof as pawn is to queen) the venerable academic publication of any law school, the law review, is almost entirely student run. In this horrifying academic bizarro-world it’s a gaggle of toe-headed 2Ls who pass judgment on whether […]

Houston Law Review Latest Issue (Fall 2007)
I would be remiss if I didn’t point out the latest publication of the Houston Law Review. I found Patel’s MySpace or Yours: The Abridgment of the Blogosphere at the Hands of At-Will Employment fascinating for more than intellectual curiosities sake. I’ll be unpacking some of these in future posts.

New Forms and Directions for Law Review Websites

In design and function, the Indiana Law Journal Supplement represents the best implementation […]
Postscript
I’ve mentioned the law review write on here, here and here, and am happy to report that my attempt was successful. The casenote concerned Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 127 S. Ct. 2162 (2007). I’m quite sick of thinking about this case, to be honest, but it occurred to me today that being […]
Law Review Write On
Having just finished the law review write-on process I thought I would share some reactions to the experience before my memory has a chance to suppress it to salvage what’s left of my psyche.
To briefly summarize - “Ouch, that hurt.” Really, academic research against the clock is not a pleasant experience. As an evening student, […]
Student Law Review Articles With Legs
It’s easy for law students to think of the articles they write for law review as necessary evils, grown-up book reports that demonstrate their research and writing ability to potential employers and justify the prestige-grab of law review. Eugene Volokh, whose excellent Legal Academic Writing will show up on any recommended reading list, is tracking […]
