Staff Selection Process
The journals hold an information session each spring for interested students. Selection of staff members is based on the following:
-
Students in the top 7% of the eligible pool of students will be invited to walk on to the journal of their choice.
-
Students in the next 8% of the eligible pool of students will be invited to walk on to their choice of either the Health Law Journal or the Probate Law Journal.
-
Students in the top 50% of the eligible pool of students will be eligible to be selected to join the Law review through the write-on competition.
-
Any student in the eligible pool of students who has attained a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher at the selection point will be eligible to be selected to join the Health Law Journal or the Probate Law Journal through the write-on competition. However, in order to be selected to join either of these Journals, a student who is not in the top 50% of the eligible pool of students shall be required to meet a heightened standard in the write-on competition.
-
The eligible pool of students shall include those students who at the selection point have attained 23 credits as of the conclusion of the immediately preceding semester.
-
The write-on competition shall take place at a time or times determined by the editorial boards of the journals. If the write-on competition occurs prior to the computation of final grades for the immediately prior semester, all students in the eligible pool of students shall be invited to participate, but no invitations to join a journal shall be extended until such grades are computed and students’ eligibility is determined pursuant to the preceding paragraphs.
