Student Note

A student note is a scholarly analysis of an original topic within the realm of intellectual property law. A student note may be submitted for publication in any journal, including the Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property. Students who opt to write the student note will earn 2 credits for the entire academic year (1 credit per semester). Please note that this option is only available if started in the Fall semester such that the student works on the note throughout a single academic year.
