How to Increase Your Chances of Getting Published on Law Review (or Journal of Choice)    

September 13, 2023 By Justine Huang Leave a Comment

How to Increase Your Chances of Getting Published on Law Review (or Journal of Choice)So you’re going to be on a journal next year—congratulations!! Being on a law school journal is a great way to hone your research, writing, and editing skills, while having the opportunity to be involved in helping legal scholars—and potentially yourself—get published!

Plus, it’s just cool to have an article you wrote get published! And it doesn’t hurt to submit your article for publication, so why not submit what you’ve been working so hard on all year?

If you want to get published, here are 6 tips to keep in mind as you start to research and write your Note:

Four Things I Wish I Could Tell My Pre-1L Self

August 30, 2023 By Julia Gourary Leave a Comment

Four Things I Wish I Could Tell My Pre-1L SelfBefore I started law school, I got a lot of great advice. (Read about the best nuggets of wisdom I received here!) While these conversations definitely helped me avoid a lot of potential 1L pitfalls and assuage many of my worries, it’s hard to know what law school will be like, and particularly what it will be like for you personally, until you actually do it. Now that I’m finished with my first year and have the benefit of experience, I want to share a few things I wish I could tell my pre-1L self before entering law school.

Whimsy for the Win: Using Ducks to Improve Law Study

August 23, 2023 By Whitney Weatherly Leave a Comment

Whimsy for the Win: Using Ducks to Improve Law StudyNot too long ago, I wrote a post for the Bar Exam Toolbox about rubber duck bar study. In it, I revealed that the idea came from my husband telling me that Duckie Debugging has nothing to do with the Pretty in Pink character. I have decided to dispute his claim, and simultaneously offer up Duckie Law Study as the new thing to try if you, like many of your peers, are struggling with how to learn the law.
