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.

The 2025 Write-On has ended. Please reach out to Jenna Smith (jelsmith@ucdavis.edu) for information on the 2026 Write-On.
