Ways to Become a Member
There are two ways to become a member of CLR: (1) Write-On Competition; or (2) “Publish-On” competition.
(1) Write-On Competition
This competition is held annually after the completion of the spring semester for continuing students and in the beginning of the fall semester for transfer students. During the 12-day competition, applicants complete a casenote, editing packet, and a personal statement. Membership decisions are made solely on these components. Grades and past experience (resumes) are not considered. Successful continuing student applicants will be notified over the summer and start membership duties in the fall semester. Successful transfer student applicants will be notified in late September/early October and start membership duties immediately.
Please see Frequently Asked Questions below for more information.
(2) “Publish-On” Competition
CLR welcomes submission of student pieces from J.D. students and J.D. students pursuing a concurrent degree. If the submission is accepted for publication by October 31st of the student’s 3L year, an offer of membership may accompany the publication offer.
Please see the Submissions Page for more information.
