Student Note & Comment Selections for 2013-2014

As you may know, each staff member is required to write a scholarly article on a topic of their choice. The Executive Board reviews and rates these papers and selects the best papers for publication in the upcoming year’s Law Review volume. This year, the competition and quality of articles was quite outstanding, which made the Executive Board’s job of selection papers that much harder. However, after careful consideration, we selected the following papers for publication in next year’s law review volume. Please join me in congratulating these individuals on this tremendous accomplishment:
