Law Review
The University of Baltimore Law Review, the law school's flagship journal, publishes three issues a year under the direction of its student-led executive board. Each issue provides in-depth analyses of issues of current concern to the legal community. Law Review membership reflects a student's academic excellence and top-notch skills in legal analysis, research and writing. Each year's editorial board selects, with the concurrence of the faculty adviser, the members of the succeeding editorial board. To become a Law Review editor, students must first participate in the law school's Write-On Competition in the spring of their first year. Students must also have a GPA of at least 3.2. Students chosen as staff editors for Law Review receive one credit per semester; students on Law Review's executive board are eligible to earn up to three credits per semester.

Law Forum

Law Forum is published under the direction of a student editorial board and staff. To participate in Law Forum, a student must have a GPA of at least 3.0.
