How important is Law Review?
I am a law student at a tier 1 school in Ohio. I am trying to decide whether or not I should try out for law reiview. I really Don't want to actually be on law review but it seems so important in terms of getting hired. I am in the top half of my class, but not by much and am a very good legal writer. I would rather do Moot Court and maybe contribute to one of the other academic journals at my law school. The perfect situation for me after school would be working in a small to medium sized firm doing civil rights, employment, and/or real estate work.
SO it boils down to this, how important is Law Review on a young lawyer's resume?
Would merely being an Associate member of Law review be better than Moot Court+Editor in Chief of some other journal?
Law Review is pretty important, but if you have other journals you can join that is pretty much just as good, especially if you have a better chance of being published. Moot court is important too.
Review and/or Journal show research and writing skills.
Moot court shows advocacy skills, at least depending on which one you do.
I know plenty of people that did review and moot court.
