St. John's Law Review

Membership Selection

The Law Review conducts a writing competition each year at the conclusion of the spring semester.  Students are selected for membership on the Law Review based on a combination of their performance on the writing competition and their grades.  In recent years, approximately 200 students have completed the competition.  Of these, between 32 and 38 are asked to join the Law Review.

Students are not required to stay on campus to complete the competition. No competitors, however, may discuss the paper with anyone else. The competition is closed universe, as all materials will be provided to competitors.

Students who take the competition will be notified of the results in late June. Those students who are selected to join the Law Review must be prepared to begin work in early July.
