Baylor Law Review - Membership Requirements

Baylor Law Review
Membership Requirements

Students become Baylor Law Review members in one of three ways:

"First-Year Grading On"
Any Baylor Law student who has completed three quarters at Baylor Law School and whose grade point average after three quarters falls within the top 15% of the student's entering class shall be entitled to membership on the Baylor Law Review.

"Second-Year Grading On"
Any Baylor Law Student who does not qualify based on first-year grades, but who, after completion of the student's fourth, fifth, or sixth quarters, has a GPA equal to or greater than average of the preceding four classes of first-year grade-ons, shall be entitled to membership.

"Writing On"
Fourth-quarter (or above) students may compete in a write-on competition in the Fall and Spring quarters. Each competitor has two weeks to draft an article or comment on a pre-selected topic. The Editor-in-Chief and the Senior Executive Editors choose the new members based on the writing samples. Competitors must have a cumulative core GPA of 2.5 or higher.
