Selection

Each year, the ''Rutgers Law Review'' held a write-on competition to select approximately 25 new members from a class of over 250 first year law students. Members were selected using a competitive process which took into account the applicant's first-year grades and performance on the write-on competition. The write-on competition required students to produce a high quality case comment using a packet of approximately two to three hundred pages of materials related to the case. The candidates had to complete all the requirements of the competition within 10 days.
