<p>What is law review?</p>
<p>Great question, hayden. Journal experience can be very valuable even if it is not on the law review. First, it adds another valuable credential to your resume. Since most pre-law school experiences do not “count” for much on your resume when searching for law jobs, every law school credential you can include is very valuable. Being on a journal is one of the best ways to boost your resume. Second, being on a journal gives you writing, editing, and research experience that can be just as helpful in your development as a lawyer as many of your classes. And third, being on a journal gives you an opportunity to become part of a community within your law class.</p>
<p>Plus, being on secondary journals does not normally take up as much time as being on law review. So it has that added advantage as well.</p>

<p>Wes H - thank you.</p>
<p>The write-on competition at most law schools is coming up in the very near future. I’m happy to answer any other questions any of you may have.</p>
<p>Here’s an interesting tidbit I just found out… Northeastern University School of Law finally got its own law review: [The</a> Northeastern University Law Journal - Home](<a href=“nulj.org”>http://www.nulj.org/) For years (decades), it had been one of the notable law schools that had not yet set up a law review.</p>
