Prospective Members

Becoming a Law Review Member

Incoming second-year law students achieve membership in the Law Review via a competitive "write-on" process that tests legal writing and technical editing skills. Second-year students become editors when they complete an original note or comment and gain requisite production experience.

Transfer Students

We encourage potential transfer students to write-on to the UC Davis Law Review. We hold a write-on competition for transfer students in July.

The Goldbook

The Goldbook is available for sale in the Law Review office for $5. Hard copies are on reserve in the Law Library. You may also download it here.

Ranked thirty-first among legal journals in the United States, the UC Davis Law Review publishes scholarly articles from legal academics, practitioners, and student editors. The Review's staff prides itself on consistently meeting deadlines while working with authors to produce the highest quality scholarship. Each academic year, the staff of nearly 70 students publishes one volume composed of five issues. This year, the Review staff is excited to publish its forty-third volume.

The Review hosts an annual symposium at King Hall. The 2010 Symposium, entitled "The Asian Century?" will be held on February 26, 2010. Please keep checking our Symposium page for updates.
