Appeal Process for Law Review Forum

[User111]

Hello.

I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Long story short …

I was really looking forward to joining law review and did well in LWR. The final offers for LR went out yesterday. Unfortunately I did not receive one. I’m a bit perplexed. I spent each day of the write-on comp at the legal library and felt very confident with my submission. I even caught a few minute sticklers in the bluebooking section that other people did not and my content was similar in quality for the writing yet they received an offer (a number of us exchanged submissions to compare after the write-on ended).

Here, offers for the write-on applications are determined exclusively on submissions (not GPA).

Does your school have an appeals option for LR applicants?

Is it worth pursuing the matter further or should I just say screw it and move on?

Thank you!

Screw it and move on.

This is basically how law school works. Not everyone can get an A. Not everyone can get law review. Them's the breaks.

Screw it and move on.

You're not going to be able to change anything and most write on processes are actually structured so there's very very few pure write on spots.

I'd also be very cautious about sharing your submission materials with others -- did you check if there's a rule against it first?
