ADMISSIONS > Student Life
Boalt Hall’s 11 student journals are a source of significant research and commentary for legal scholars and practitioners. In addition to learning about cutting-edge issues in a respective journal’s substantive area, journal members can earn academic credit. Students may also choose to satisfy their writing requirement by writing for one of the journals.
Members are directly involved in all aspects of the publication process, from article evaluation and acceptance through general revisions and editing. Journal participation helps students develop and improve legal writing and research skills and exposes them to a rapidly expanding body of law in greater depth than is possible solely through law school course work.
In keeping with the law school’s spirit of cooperative education, journal membership is open to all students (with the one exception of the California Law Review, which holds a writing competition), and first-year students are encouraged to participate.
