Competition Process

Membership to the Campbell Law Review is by invitation only, and is subject to students meeting several requirements.

Students who have completed their first two semesters of law school at Campbell University School of Law and whose cumulative grade point average places them in the top 50% of their class, including ties, shall be eligible to compete in the Spring Writing Competition. This is the only means of obtaining an invitation to the Campbell Law Review, except for candidate members and transferees (see bylaws). Because of the time constraints respecting the publication of grades and class rankings, students will be required to enter the Spring Writing Competition without actual knowledge of their rank or percentile. Students who, after competing in the Spring Writing Competition, attain a cumulative grade point average that ranks them lower than the top 50% of the class will not be extended a membership invitation.

The Spring Writing Competition contains two parts: (1) a case note or condensed comment on an assigned topic, and (2) a citation exam. Each student's grades for the two parts of the competition will be weighed along with their cumulative grade point average to determine who will be extended an invitation to law review.
