Publishing Opportunities
The Wake Forest Law Review is a student-run organization that publishes four issues annually, hosts a lecture series, and sponsors a daylong symposium focused on a specific, dedicated law review topic. Membership is determined through academic performance and/or participation in a writing competition. Students who are in the top 10 percent after their first year are invited to join the Wake Forest Law Review. An equal number of students are invited to join based upon their scores in the writing competition and their grades. Students who are in the top 10 percent after their second year are also invited to join.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW JOURNAL
The Law School publishes the Wake Forest Intellectual Property Law Journal. This publication features articles, notes, and comments from intellectual property practitioners, students, and faculty. The IPLJ encourages students to submit articles focusing on topics such as trademarks, copyrights, patent, trade secrets, unfair competition, cyberlaw, Internet business law, or any other subject of intellectual property. These items can be papers already completed for coursework or articles specifically written for the journal.
FACULTY & STUDENT RESEARCH
One of the great byproducts of working with legal scholars who are recognized for being among the most productive in the nation is the chance to collaborate with them. Students frequently collaborate with professors on their own research for eventual publication, such as a recent project one student did with Professor Ron Wright on juvenile video hearings and post-conviction remedies. Other students have the opportunity to assist faculty with their research for articles, casebooks, or treatises.
