Notification of eligibility and entry packages will be available prior to the competition in late July. Entries will be reviewed by each publication's Board of Editors on an anonymous basis. The papers will be evaluated on depth of analysis, writing style, and overall presentation including adherence to Blue Book form. Students who join the Law Review have two primary responsibilities. They must work on approximately four production assignments throughout the year and must prepare their own Note or Comment on a case or topic of their choice.
Students work on the latter for an entire year and submit at least three drafts for review.
Upon completion of the third draft, the Law Review Executive Board selects the best student articles for publication the following year. During the fall semester, staff members are required to participate in the Journal Seminar, complete at least four production assignments, and write a Note or Comment on a topic of their choice. The Law Journal Executive Board then selects the most outstanding articles for publication in the Law Journal. Further information about the Write-On Competition will be mailed to students in July. Students desiring to participate in the Write-On Competition, who will be out of town over the summer, need to advise either Law Review or Law Journal staff of their summer addresses so that the problem can be mailed to them at their own expense.
