Noah, how does the law review work? Getting into it, advancing to editor, duties, etc?

School-specific.

At my school, top 10% automatically get on and then the rest have to do a writing competition. Unfortunately you don't know your grades til after, so some people waste two weeks doing it when they didnt need to. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]


Other schools do only grades, only combo, or some formula combination of both.

Yeah, this is definitely not how it was done at my school (Georgetown).

At my school, 50% of the people on the Law Journal were chosen purely based on the writing competition, without regard to grades. The other 50% were chosen based a formula that combined your grades and writing competition score.

I wish our system had been like Noah's, because then I would have gotten on the Law Journal! As it stood, the journal I did join was seriously one of the least fulfilling experiences of my life.
