So I recently missed a competition to write-on law review. Didn't want to do it, and then finally got into doing some of it, and then it was too late to do anything about it.
However, a LOT of people were telling me not to do it. I have a position on another journal and I'm told it basically only matters if you want to clerk. Which I definitely don't.
I'm told if you're at a T6 grades matter most, then work experience, then activities (of which LR is foremost, but not by much)
Opinions?
I write this because I was so sure I didn't want to do it, but now I'm like "WTF??? why not!??" That said, I will be happy to have that extra time to do stuff which truly interests me, whether legal or not.

Yeah...huh. Well, color me surprised? I guess.Law review membership doesn’t appear to buy much during OCI. This result surprised me enough that I ran another halfdozen regressions (including regressions incorporating various interaction terms and proxies for firm selectivity/prestige), but I was unable to find a statistically significant effect in any regression.
