Undergraduate Law Journal

Applying to Write or Edit for the Journal

The application period for the 2009-2010 Undergraduate Law Journal has passed. We thank you for your interest, and if you did not apply this year, we look forward to receiving your application in the following school year.

What is the Undergraduate Law Journal?

The Pre-Law Society’s Undergraduate Journal is a publication of student-written essays on current events, law, philosophy, and policy. The journal is composed of undergraduate entries, making it unique in the field of legal scholarship. It is modeled after law review publications that are found at every well-known law school in this country.

The journal contains approximately 8-10 articles that are equivalent, in length, to approximately 10-15 double-spaced 8.5” by 11” pages. In the past it has included exclusively UCLA undergraduates and recent graduates, but, in the spirit of increasing the diversity of viewpoints and positions represented, the journal has been opened to undergraduates from across the country.

This year's 2009-2010 Editor-in-Chief is Juliana Gabrovsky. Our 2009-2010 Publications Director is Russell Green.

Why write for the Undergraduate Law Journal?

There are relatively few opportunities for students to explore many of the issues relating to the law in an in-depth way. The journal offers students a unique outlet to get their feet wet in the analysis and discussion of past, present, and future law and policy that interest them.

Additionally, the Pre-Law Society Journal is distributed to the top 50 U.S. law schools and to the admission directors who attend UCLA's Annual Law Forum (the largest student-run law forum in the nation). The deans and assistant deans of admission that we have spoken to have been consistently impressed by the articles that they read each year in this unique publication.
