University of La Verne Law Review Academic Program Membership on the University of La Verne Law Review is not exclusively an extracurricular activity. It also has an academic, graded component. New members of the University of La Verne Law Review enroll in a 2-unit, semester-long graded Law Review Seminar in the fall of the academic year after selection. In this seminar, taught by the faculty of the University of La Verne College of Law, students write a Note or Comment, which they may submit to the University of La Verne Law Review for publication. Approximately 4-6 Notes or Comments are published each year. In the Law Review Seminar, students receive guidance in all aspects of legal scholarship – topic selection, research, proper citation format, writing tips, and feedback from faculty members. The seminar culminates in a day-long Student Scholarship Conference in November, in which all seminar members present their research to the College of Law community. During the fall semester, law review members also attend regular meetings of the law review staff and participate in the production of the University of La Verne Law Review as directed by members of the Editorial Board. In the spring semester, members enroll in a 2-unit, credit/no-credit Law Review course, which focuses on the production of the University of La Verne Law Review. During this semester, members of the next Volume’s Editorial Board are selected from those students who are members in good standing of the law review staff. Students selected for membership on the Editorial Board have the option of enrolling in a 2-unit, credit/no-credit Editorial Board summer school course, in the summer between their second and third years. All members of the Editorial Board are expected to do law review work over the summer; however, enrollment in the summer course is not mandatory. Senior staff members (who are not members of the Editorial Board) and those Editorial Board members who did not enroll in the law review summer course have the option of receiving up to 2 additional units of credit for law review in the 3L year. No student may receive more than 6 units of law review credit (2 graded, and up to 4 credit/no-credit units).         University of La Verne Law Review's Terms of Use This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License.
