What is the Santa Clara Law Review?

​

Edited by a group of hand-selected, dedicated students, the Santa Clara Law Review is one of the most prestigious legal periodicals in Silicon Valley.

 

Why should I apply?

The Santa Clara Law Review provides students with the opportunity to hone their legal research and tech skills through assignments and through production of a student note, a research paper on a topic of each student’s choice. This is a great way to demonstrate strong legal research and writing skills to employers. In their second year on Law Review (during 3L or 4L year), students hold leadership positions– this is a fantastic way to engage with the Santa Clara community. Students that join the Santa Clara Law Review also have access to its network of student members and alumni.

 

How do I apply?

To apply, students must

 

• Be a current 2L or flex 3L student

• Have a minimum 3.0 GPA

• Write and pass the case-comment. A case-comment is a 10 page closed universe research paper, graded by the Law Review Notes Department.
