Membership
Journal members are our most important resource. Their responsibilities include editing scholarly articles, researching and writing on important legal issues and assuming leadership positions on the Journal as 3L members.
The Journal inducts new members from the full-time and part-time 1L class after each Spring semester. There are three ways to become a member:
- Grade-on: Invitations to join the Journal based on academic performance are made following the spring semester and after class rankings are posted.
- Write-on: The Journal participates in the annual write-on competition. The 2009 Write-On Competition begins on June 20, 2009, and ends July 9, 2009. Please go to http://www.houstonlawreview.org/about/write-on-competition/ for all competition details.
- Apply-on: The Journal allows all rising 1Ls to submit an application for membership. The application includes an essay and a short research and writing assignment that allows prospective members to demonstrate their interest in the journal and ability to perform the work of a member. The Journal is no longer taking applications for the 2009/2010 academic year.
