Children's Legal Rights Journal Senior Editors

Catalog description

The Children's Legal Rights Journal ("CLRJ") is a legal journal published by law students at Loyola University Chicago School of Law in cooperation with the National Association of Counsel for Children. Members of the CLRJ staff review, select, and edit articles prepared and submitted by authors from multiple disciplines - including law, social work, and psychology - focused on legal and adjacent issues related to children's care and empowerment. All new staff must also write a short feature article that is published in either the fall or spring issue as well as a long-form student article which may be selected for publication in the spring. The CLRJ staff hosts a yearly symposium on child law issues, with presentations by nationally recognized experts. Students are invited for membership on the CLRJ Staff after their first year of law school based upon an application and entry in a writing competition. The course is graded on a pass/fail basis.
