Syracuse Law Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Syracuse Law Review, established in 1952, is an intense legal research and writing program for student editors at Syracuse University College of Law and a national forum for legal scholars who contribute to it. The editorial board publishes four Law Review issues annually, one of which is the Annual Survey of New York Law.
Notable contributors to the 57th Volume of the Syracuse Law Review include renowned scholars such as Erwin Chemerinsky, Owen Fiss, Akhil Reed Amar, and Ronald Rotunda, as well as distinguished panelists who participated in the Law Review's Fall 2007 Symposium, "A Nuclear Iran: The Legal Implications of a Preemptive National Security Strategy." The Law Review also publishes six articles completed by student members during their first year of law review membership.
Students are selected for Law Review membership based on academic ranking or success in an open writing competition held at the conclusion of the first year. All prospective members, including those who would be offered membership based on academic ranking, must successfully complete a form & accuracy examination, demonstrating the prospective members knowledge and comfort with the Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. Members must demonstrate mastery of legal research and writing skills by submitting scholarly articles of publishable quality, of which 6 winning articles and 2 alternates are selected for publication in the following volume.
