Criminal Law Brief
The Criminal Law Brief is an excellent opportunity to get very hands on experience in one of the very few law school publications in the country that deals exclusively with criminal law. Additionally, board members have the advantage of taking on a leadership role and meeting other students interested in the same areas while gaining the benefit of hearing about a variety of externships, summer employments, and clinic experience
