"Law Review/Journal Required"
One of the firms I bid (in an pure pre-select system) extended me an interview. Their description said, "Journal Required; Moot Court Preffered." Assuming I am otherwise qualified, does this mean that I have absolutely no shot? I'll admit, I knew I didn't have a journal when I bid on it; I had more bids than firms so I figured, what the heck? If it makes a difference, the firm is Weil Gotshal.

Weil posts that on Symplicity at every school they interview. I'm at HLS and it says the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: "Law Review/Journal Required"
I think Weil has a little bit of a rep for "needing" or "preferring" certain qualifications from students, when that really doesn't turn out to be the case. I go to CCN and they have listed: "Law Review/Journal required," which just is not the case at all.

Great, thats really reassuring. I tend to interview well, and I look good on paper except for the Journal thing.

Re: "Law Review/Journal Required"
There's nothing for them for Michigan either. In fact, I haven't seen any requirements for any firms on Symplicity (except relating to joint-degree students and bidding on multiple offices. I think Michigan might not allow firms to do that since OCS talks up the fact that there's "no prescreening" a lot.Cupidity wrote:where are you, Yale?

Re: "Law Review/Journal Required"
This is Weil's symplicity post at Georgetown:
GPA: B+
Criteria: Journal Membership
Law Review/Journal is required; Moot Court/Advocacy is preferred.
A-/B+.
From what everyone else has posted, it looks like these are meaningless requirements.
