Journal of Race and Gender Seminar

Catalog description

Class limited to members of the Journal of Race, Gender, and Poverty. Students learn the basics of article publication, law journal management, and editing, both of their own work and the work of others. In class students will work on writing and rewriting a law review comment or case note and learn the basics of academic writing. Over the course of two semesters, under the direction of a faculty adviser the students will write a case note or comment of such quality that the article can be published in the Journal of Race, Gender, and Poverty. Each student will meet regularly with his or her adviser for individualized assessment of the work. If taken for two semesters, this course satisfies the requirement that a student take Advanced Legal Analysis and Writing to graduate. Legal Analysis and Writing I and II are prerequisites for this course.
