Does your school give course credit for law review? Forum

[TXgal]

Hey guys!

I haven't been able to find much information regarding this on TLS (other than some general statements in a few threads), but it sounds like some schools give course credit to students on law review, while others do not. Could you maybe comment below if you happen to know of a school that does (or does not) give credit? I'm trying to get an idea of how common this is. Please include the name of the school and the number of hours (if applicable). I really appreciate the help!

It looks like you're already in school, so I don't quite understand how this would be relevant...

Oops, sorry, did I put this in the wrong forum? How would I move it?

It's fine here. I can move it to the law student forum if you like.

cavalier, maybe they want to make an argument to their school that credit should be given. Or maybe they want to know whether most people who do it are getting credit for it, so that they can evaluate what people are saying when they say "do law review."

OP, my lower T1 gave 1 cr per semester for 2L year, and then 3L year you had the option of doing it for 1 credit or 2 credits (each semester) - the board kept track of who was doing how many credits and adjusted the amount of work students got given accordingly.

Also just for context, we couldn't use our LR notes to fulfill the writing requirement for graduation, which I know some places do - we had to take a formal class to fulfill our writing requirement.

I went to WashU and it was similar/the same as Nony, iirc.

UT does not.
