How do Law Review and other journal selections work at Emory?
Emory University School of Law is home to three scholarly law journals: the Emory Bankruptcy Developments Journal, the Emory International Law Review and Emory Law Journal. Emory’s law journals select candidates through a joint writing competition. Students compete by writing a single casenote in response to a packet of materials provided by the three journals and completing a Bluebook citation quiz. Competitors submit copies of their casenote and citation quiz to each journal they wish to join along with a preference sheet ranking their interest. Each journal then uses its selection and grading process to select candidates. In general, the editorial or executive board of each journal reviews the materials submitting anonymously and selects a pool of candidates (each journal accepts a different number of candidates) to participate on the journal. More information, including information on the 1L selection process is available at http://www.law.emory.edu/academics/law-journals.html. Emp
