Ep. 15 - Dickerson & Bowman - Law Review Editorial Board: Who are they, what do they do, and how do I join?

We are back in the Law School Lounge this week and host Krystal Norton is joined again by Dean Darby Dickerson, the Dean and President of Southwestern Law School, and Professor Brooke Bowman, a Professor of Law at Stetson University College of Law. These two experts in legal scholarship are turning the discussion to law review and law journal editorial boards. In last week's episode, the structure of these boards was addressed. Now, these three discuss the roles of specific members, the difficulties faced by students in these positions, how members are selected (plus great tips for those seeking a position), and how editorial boards commonly select the articles for their publication. This candid discussion will be helpful to law students seeking editorial board positions and faculty advisors who work with these students on a regular basis.If you need valuable advice on being on law review, including how to make the most out of being an editorial board member, be sure you check out the Scribes Manual for Law Review Editors, co-edited by Dean Dickerson and Professor Bowman, available here.You can learn more about Dean Darby Dickerson here and you can read about Professor Brooke Bowman here.Also, if you don't already follow the Lounge on social media, find us on Instagram and X (Twitter): @lawschoollounge.
