Demystifying Journal
Do you know what "law review" is? Are you interested in joining a journal, but don't know what it would entail? Join the Joint Journal Committee's Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee Monday, November 9th from 12-1 PM ET for a virtual discussion exploring what a "journal" or "law review" is, what benefits joining these dynamic organizations provide you, and why you should be a part of this exciting community at WCL. Designed for 1L and evening 2L students, this event will feature leaders and staff members of WCL's five journals (the American University Law Review; Administrative Law Review; International Law Review; Journal of Gender, Social Policy, and the Law; and the Business Law Review) in candid discussion of what it means to be on a journal at WCL and the community each journal provides.
