I know the folks who run International, great people. And I obviously know about STLR, so if anyone has any questions, just ask.

If I heard from one Journal today, is it still possible that I will hear from another?

I think so. Pretty sure it's possible to get offers from both secondary journals.

If you didn't get anything today, relax. People have a couple days to respond, and then another wave will go out.

I'm having a hard time relaxing.

I feel you.

P.S. 151 helps.

Rangers game (tickets courtesy of my firm). Rangers win. Beer.

That helped.

On a seperate, but equally depressing, topic: Does Access show anyone's financial aid awards yet? My scholarship just showed up but nothing about loans yet...Stan Eddy...

There will be a lot more invites going out tonight. Quite a few more.

All three reviews, or just ILRA and STLR?

Probably just secondary journals, SMU LR should be pretty full by now.

How many students make Law Review each year?

[kalvano]

About 40% of the class, roughly, across all journals.

Specifically, though, for SMULR, do you happen to know the number? Sorry, I'm an incoming student and just trying to figure out how difficult it is.

The write-on competition information packet we received in the spring says:

* 150-175 students participate in the competition
* 45-50 new students join SMU LR
* 45-50 new students join ILRA
* 20-30 new students join STLR

Congratulations. I might be your Lord and Master editor. If you have STLR questions, feel free to PM me.

Jussssst got a call from the ILRA. Now I can stop bugging kalvano.

[SMU2013]

STLR or ILRA? Any thoughts?

once we've chosen a journal, are we supposed to change our schedules? I remember seeing the journals on the class lists...

No. You don't need to change anything.

No. You don't need to change anything.

Although it's not necessary to change anything, don't we need to add one of the journal selections to claim credit hours in the upcoming semester?

Since I have already registered for 11 hours as a PT student, adding additional hours from a journal would push me into the full-time bracket. To claim journal credit and remain under 12 hours, I'll have to rearrange course selections.

No. You don't need to rearrange anything. If you're a 2L, you get 5 total credit hours to use any way you see fit, but you can only use up to 3 of them the first year you are on journal (or it might be only 2, I can't remember; regardless, you can't use all of them).

To claim LR credit hours, just email Kim Grace with your student ID and tell her how many you would like to use.

No adding / dropping required.

I didn't use any 2L, registered for 11 credit hours this fall, am using 3 LR hours, and will use the final 2 in the spring. Hello, easier 3L.

[DavidB]

No adding / dropping required.

Okay, I was assuming any journal credit would be included my course load.

So I can still register for 11 hours via normal classes, add an amount of journal credit, but remain as part-time?

No, it counts as credit hours, just not towards your GPA. So you'd want to stay, total hours, below the limit for you as a PT student. But you don't have to use them this semester. You can wait and use them in the spring, or next year.
