Chapman Law Review

 
The Chapman Law Review is a student-run scholarly journal at Chapman University Fowler School of Law. Each year, the Review:
  • Publishes a print journal two times – once per semester
  • Publishes the best notes or comments written by our second-year students
  • Hosts CLR Online, a website that publishes digital copies of all Chapman Law Review articles, archives of symposia webcasts, Law Review news, new online articles, and much more
  • Hosts an annual symposium each spring that brings together noted scholars to discuss far-reaching legal questions

Membership

All management, editorial, and publication control is vested in the Review's thirty or so student members. Based on their academic performance in their first year, students are automatically offered staff positions or are invited to participate in the summer write-on competition. The Editorial Board is then selected from within the membership ranks based on their leadership, diligence and demonstrated service to the Review. Membership on the Review Editorial Board is an honor and a significant time commitment. Articles are reviewed for timeliness, quality of writing and topical interest. To see current and former Chapman Law Review members, please review the mastheads.

Write-on Competition

The write-on competition is usually held in late June or early July over a two-week period. The competition is a closed-universe writing assignment with the Chapman Law Review providing all of the necessary research - including cases, statutes and other relevant material. The participant must take and persuasively support a position with only the material provided and cannot perform any outside research.

Faculty Support

The Chapman Law Review receives tremendous support from the faculty and administration, including its Faculty Advisor, Professor Celestine McConville.
