Rutgers School of Law - Newark

Membership on one of these publications is often considered by both the academic and professional community to be the most significant extracurricular educational activity in law school.

The Rutgers Law Review publishes critical legal opinion, including articles on important legal problems by authorities in their respective fields, student commentary, and book reviews. The Rutgers Law Review and its predecessors have been published for over three decades. Students edit the publication and write approximately half of the articles. Most staff members are selected at the end of their first year.

Selection is based on a competition in writing, analytical, and editorial abilities; the competition is conducted by the editorial board.

The Rutgers Computer and Technology Law Journal is a student-run, law-review-style publication. It focuses on issues arising from the interaction of computers and other technologies with the law.

Emphasis in the past has been placed on three major areas: legal aspects of the computer industry, legal ramifications of the use of computers and other special technologies, and the application of computers and new technologies to the legal profession. Other recent topics include communications and environmental regulation.

Each issue includes recent developments and a complete bibliography.

The journal is published semiannually, and a large part of it is written by students. Staff members are selected primarily through a writing competition, but members may also join by writing an article suitable for publication in the journal.
