University of Colorado Law Review
Members
The University of Colorado Law Review is made up of 60 members, including the Board of Editors, third-year Associate Editors, and second-year Members.
The Board of Editors serves as the executive body of the Law Review and is ultimately responsible for all major policy decisions and the production of the issues. The Board is empowered to revise the bylaws and to make disciplinary decisions. Each Board member earns two credits per semester. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the overall management of the production process. The Managing Editor assists the Editor-in-Chief with all of his/her responsibilities and is responsible for non-publication matters (e.g., communication, finances, associate hours, discipline, and morale). The Article Editors review and select submissions, and work with the professional authors to revise their articles for publication. Casenote & Comment Editors are responsible for working with the student authors, including those chosen for publication, and with a small group of second-year Members to help them with topic selection and paper development. The Production Editors are responsible for ensuring a professional-looking, error-free publication, including formatting of articles and managing the citecheck process. The Resource Editor collects the necessary sources for completion of each citecheck.
The third-year Associate Editors are the lifeblood of the Law Review. They can select whether they would like to earn one or two credits per semester. Their credit hours are fulfilled with tasks such as 3L citechecks, assisting the Resource Editor, assisting Staff with the preparation of article submissions, proofreading articles, and completion of other long-term Law Review projects.
Second-year Members have two primary responsibilities. First, they are asked to complete citechecks, by reviewing and correcting footnotes in an article that has been selected for publication. Second, each Member researches and writes a substantial paper addressing any legal topic of interest to that person. The Law Review selects approximately nine of these papers for publication each year. Second-year Members receive one credit each semester for their work.
