Welcome to another year of law school!  The summer proved to be a very busy one for the members of the Valparaiso University Law Review.  Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Josh Reece, the Law Review’s group of editors worked tirelessly over the past several months to admit a new class of Notewriters into the Law Review.

Each individual participated in the annual case comment competition following their May final exams.  The Notewriters had only three weeks to thoroughly research and write a twelve-page comment on a recent Supreme Court decision.  The editors of the Law Review evaluated each submission and, through a combination of their writing scores and grades, the top submissions have been selected to participate in the review.  Additionally, congratulations to Arie Lipinski who received the highest score on his case comment.

The Notewriters, after deciding upon topics, are in the process of writing their Notes.  Since the new members will write on their chosen topics for the next seven months, the selection of their specific areas of law was an intimidating one.  However, these individuals have dedicated themselves to the Law Review and we congratulate them on their success and commitment to the school.

The Law Review is publishing four issues this year, and we are currently in the process of preparing Issues One and Two for publication.  In addition to articles submitted by outside authors and professionals, the Volume 45 issues will include Notes by the following Law Review members: David Marusarz, Josh Reece, Candy Kilpinen, Billy Horvath, Leah Provost, Erica Hoodhood, Gabriela Brizuela, Brian Borchert, Ross Brennan, Nicholas Cronauer, Joey Hoflander, Nick Hood, Brittany Smith, and Bradley Turflinger.  Congratulations to these diligent writers for achieving the publishable standard!

If you have any questions about the Law Review or if you want to learn more about the organization, feel free to stop by the Law Review office or contact Erica Hoodhood at Erica.Hoodhood@gmail.com.
