Who is Eligible for Law Review?
Law Review eligibility is detailed in § 1.12 of the Chicago-Kent Student Handbook. In general, there are two ways to become eligible for an invitation to join the Law Review:
- By academic performance
- By writing a qualifying mock Note in the Summer Candidacy Program
At the end of each academic year, the following students are invited to join Law Review based on their academic performance:
- Full-time day division students who have completed their first year and rank in the top 5% of the day division class
- Evening division and part-time day division students who have completed their first year and rank in the top 5% of the combined evening division and part-time day division class
- Evening division and part-time day division students who have completed their second year and rank within the top 5% of the combined class of first-year day students and second-year evening and part-time day students
Students who do not receive an invitation based on academic performance may participate in the Summer Candidacy Program.
