BYU Prelaw Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BYU Prelaw Review is America's leading undergraduate legal journal. It was founded in the early 1990s, and at the time it was the only undergraduate legal journal. While a handful of other schools claim to have a prelaw review, they are generally either online journals or informal magazines. The BYU Prelaw Review is truly an academic venue for students to express legal opinion. As one of only a few undergraduate legal journal in the United States, the journal is funded and supervised by Brigham Young University. Articles in the BYU Prelaw are written and edited by students from the BYU community.
The BYU Prelaw Review's mission is to provide writing and editing opportunties to students preparing for a legal education. The Review is an excellent resource for students seeking a high-quality preparation for law school journal editing work. As part of the curriculum for those students on the journal's staff, Bluebook is an important concept that is learned and beneficial to the students' preparation for future legal studies.
