They won't rescind. There's usually a giant woo-hoo members email. When my editor called me, I didn't see it until nearly an hour after and it was fine. If you make it, pickingup the phone won't negate anything. I haven't done the grading, obviously, but if nothing starts until august there isn't a huge acceptance rush. Plus, I've only heard of one person ever declining acceptance (I know...wtf) so they assume you will accept.

So, are journals making calls tonight like last year?

Yup.

Under promise and over deliver. We find out tomorrow at 9 AM about exclusives apparently.

If you're at my law school, law review has made calls. The other competitions are currently ongoing.

Someone at my school did this very blatantly. Here, people understand. There? I'm not so sure your friend list consisting of a majority of people who did not make it will be so understanding. I stalked that status long enough to see a few people call him out for being an ass.

anyone know whether being part of a secondary journal in your specialty (say a technology journal for IP) is seen as "better" than being part of LR?

Not at all. LR is always better

While I agree that law review is always better than a secondary journal, getting published in a secondary journal & becoming an editor of a journal in one's specialty is a solid resume booster.

is there anyone reason to take a secondary journal offer over a LR offer if that secondary journal is your specialty and you have reason to believe it's easier to get on their e-board than the LR e-board?

Taking a shot in the dark, but I think this would largely depend on the school and how specific your vision is for the future. If you are at a T14 school, this may not be a bad move because your grades are presumably strong enough that it does not matter and may actually make you a unique candidate. However, at lower ranked schools, often times employers will only recruit law review members so it is much more instrumental to the job search to have that line on your resume.

There is never a reason to take a secondary over LR. Always, always take the flagship law review.

I've had it with this wait. Don't even care anymore.

@lsatextreme: That would really depend upon the particulars. Some law schools permit students to participate on two journals at the same time.

I've never heard of this. Not saying you're wrong but who on their right mind would want to be on LR and another journal?
