The application for the 2016 - 2017 Undergraduate Law Review is already here! For those of

you who may not know, The George Washington University Undergraduate Law Review (ULR)

is a prestigious student-run publication that offers undergraduates the unique chance to

research, write, and edit a law review article on a legal topic of their choosing. The year-long

process involves many stages of topic investigation, legal research, draft writing, and editing, and

our editors and writers will even learn the Legal Bluebook citation method (something typically

not taught until law school). At the end of the year, writers will have a fantastic writing sample

that they can use to apply for jobs and internships, as well as a publication to add to their

resume.

You can also apply to be an editor for the publication, which means you will be assigned

to different writers' articles throughout the year, and help them get to publishable quality.

Editors are essential, since without them, our publication would not succeed in having the high-

quality material we expect. You may apply to write, edit, or both, which you can indicate on the

application itself.

The application includes filling out the form and submitting a writing sample that demonstrates

your skills (if you are applying for the writer position). Make sure to choose a writing sample

that is a college-level essay or written assignment, or a high school level essay if you are a

freshman.

For more information, please visit our website, where you will also find downloadable PDFs of

every ULR that has been published since the organization's founding in 2009. You can also read

testimonials from last year's writers here. We look forward to reviewing your application!
