The goal of the Note Publishing Workshop is to help students turn an existing draft paper into a publishable note, comment, or other law review article by the end of the term. Workshop participants will meet as a group for seven two-hour sessions (on scheduled weeks) in Spring 2025; they will also meet individually with faculty instructors on a mutually convenient schedule to be determined.
The instructors will supervise and facilitate the workshop meetings and will provide individualized feedback on each participant’s draft. Workshop activities will include examination of published (sample) notes and articles, presentation of work by each participant to the group, and detailed responses by all participants to the work of peers. In addition, workshops will focus on key components of note/article composition, including titles, abstracts, literature "entry points," claims-making and/or the statement of hypotheses and research questions, general stylistic issues, obstacles to revision (including psychological obstacles!), and the finalizing of drafts. Students will receive credit for the workshop by meaningfully revising their drafts papers into publishable-quality notes, comments, or articles, as determined by the instructors.
Interested students *must have completed* the paper they are interested in revising during the workshop by the workshop application deadline near the end of the 2024 Fall Semester, preferably in conjunction with a writing seminar or a Law 299 individual writing program. Interested students are strongly encouraged to meet with a research librarian and attend California Law Review events (open to all students) that are designed to answer your questions about publishing.
To apply to this course, students should submit their draft paper to Faculty Assistant Midori Kimata via email (midori.kimata@berkeley.edu) by the end of day on November 8th. Please use "Application for Spring 2025 Note Publishing Workshop" as your email subject line. Responses will be provided by the end of day on November 18th. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. If more than 12 students apply by the deadline, students will be admitted based upon the instructors’ judgment about the paper's potential for revision into a publishable note/article within the time frame of the class. After the deadline passes, late applications will be considered on a rolling basis as space permits.
Attendance at the first class is mandatory for all currently enrolled and waitlisted students; any currently enrolled or waitlisted students who are not present on the first day of class (without prior permission of the instructor) will be dropped. The instructor will continue to take attendance throughout the add/drop period and anyone who moves off the waitlist into the class must continue to attend or have prior permission of the instructor in order not to be dropped.
