Some journals participate in the Early Application process, which is an appealing option for students with a particular interest in a specific journal. 1L students can apply via LawNet to only one of the participating journals during the early application period. Student/Journal matches are binding unless the student matches with Columbia Law Review in the Regular Application process.
You can learn more about journals by reading the Journal Application Manual, perusing the website, and/or attending recruitment events. Please note that the Manual is UNI locked.
1Ls should check their emails for communication and more information about the Early Journal Application Period.
