Prospective Members

Current FIU Law Students

FIU Law Review membership is contingent upon the successful completion of the Law Review Training Program that takes place over six (6) sessions in the Spring semester. Students who are eligible for the Training Program but choose not to participate waive their opportunity to join FIU Law Review.

The Training Program consists of three components: (1) attending six (6) sessions; (2) completion of all assignments; and (3) satisfactory performance in the Training Program. All students are required to complete the Training Program in order to be eligible for membership. After the Training Program, the Executive Editorial Board will decide on the number of invitations to extend, taking into consideration the anticipated production needs for the upcoming year.

To accept an invitation, students must have completed the foundation curriculum and be in good academic standing. Students must also have a combined GPA of 2.67 for LSVI and LSVII, and an overall GPA of 2.67 in curved courses. If a student does not have an overall GPA of 2.67, the student has one semester to raise their GPA to 2.67 or higher (using courses that are curved). The student will not be able to participate in Law Review during the 2L year, but will be able to participate during the 3L year.

Transfer Students

Transfer students must be admitted and matriculated at FIU Law by July 15th of the year of application to FIU Law. FIU Law Review reaches out to transfer students eligible for membership.

Transfer students are eligible for FIU Law Review if they achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.25 at their prior school and received an A or A- grade in their prior school’s legal writing courses. Full-time transfer students are eligible to join FIU Law Review during the Transfer Training Program. Part-time transfer students are eligible to join FIU Law Review during the Spring Training Program as members of the part-time student cohort. Full-time transfer students must complete the FIU Law Review Membership Training Program by the beginning of the Fall semester of their admission to FIU Law.
