Members of the student-led Law Review’s editorial board write, edit, and publish the quarterly journal.
Student Scholarly Publications
The far-reaching success of the law school’s research and writing program extends into scholarly publications. Students have an opportunity to publish in one of five scholarly periodicals. Students hone the vital skills of legal research, writing, editing, and managing the legal work of others. The law school’s five journals include:
Law Review
The Law Review is a quarterly journal, edited and published by second- and third-year students who have exemplary grades and who successfully participate in a writing competition and technical editing exercise. Law Review members write a case note for publication on the Review’s website during their first semester, then produce a publishable original comment over successive semesters. Since 1990, the Law Review has hosted an annual Ethics Symposium, which is widely cited within legal academia and the state and federal courts.
Corporate Counsel Review
The Corporate Counsel Review, published twice each year and distributed to more than 4,000 subscribers, is the scholarly journal of the Corporate Counsel Section of the State Bar of Texas. The journal is edited by second- and third-year students competitively chosen based on their writing, editing, and interest. A small group of senior editors leads the journal under the direction of a faculty member. 37
