Here is our official
policy regarding the write-on competition for
joint degree students, JSP students and others
taking time away from Boalt.
Joint Degree Students:
Students receiving joint degrees must
participate in the write-on competition at the
end of their first year at Boalt. Joint Degree
students will not be allowed to write-on the next
year before they begin their 2L year. Although
students must complete the competition following
their first year, they may defer their membership
on the law review for one year. Joint degree
students who join CLR will serve a term of up to
two years.
JSP Students: JSP
students who are receiving a JD must complete the
write-on competition after their 1L year at Boalt.
JSP students who are not receiving a JD may
participate in the write-on competition following
either their first or second year in the program.
Although JSP students who are not receiving a JD
may choose which year to write-on, they may not
write-on twice. JSP students who join CLR will
serve a term of up to two years.
Students Taking a year
off after Their First Year: Students taking
time away after their 1L year must participate in
the write-on competition at the end of their
first year at Boalt. Although students must
complete the competition following their first
year, they may defer their membership on the law
review for one year. Once they begin, students
who took time away will serve a term of up two
years on CLR.
Students studying abroad: Students studying abroad must
participate in the write-on competition at the end of their
first year at Boalt. To discuss the effect of studying abroad
on membership requirements, please contact our Managing Editor,
Ilona Turner. She can be reached at 642-7562 or by e-mail at
