La Verne Law Review

Membership on the University of La Verne Law Review is the result of a selective process, based on both grades and successful completion of a write-on competition. Beginning with Volume 30 (2008-2009), the 2L staff will consist of 20 members. The write-on competition takes place over a one-week period in the summer and consists of two parts: a "closed universe" memo (5-7 pages) on a topic of current legal interest, and a cite-checking ("Bluebooking") exercise. Any student ranked in the top 5, by cumulative G.P.A., among all students eligible to write on in a given year, who completes the write-on competition but is not among the top 20 by law review index score, is guaranteed a spot on the law review.

Membership on the University of La Verne Law Review is ordinarily a 2-year commitment. However, in the event that members of the 2L staff elect not to return in their third year, spaces on the staff will be made available to students ranked in the top 30 after their second year of law school. Selection will be by a write-on competition, combined with G.P.A., as described above. The Editorial Board of the University of La Verne Law Review is selected in February. Only Members of the University of La Verne Law Review are eligible to serve as members of the Editorial Board. Members of the staff not selected for the Editorial Board serve as senior staff members in their 3L year.
