== Staff and selection of membership == The ''Law Review'' selects approximately 50 second- and third-year law students for membership. This selection occurs through the Law School's writing competition and students' academic performance. During the spring semester, first- and second-year students participate in a write-on competition, which is graded by editors. Of the group that participates in the competition, the review then selects its members from those who have the highest combined grade point average and writing competition score.<ref name="Membership">{{cite web|url=http://lawreview.law.edu/page.cfm?id=10 |title=CUA Law Review – Membership |accessdate=2009-07-29 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090330185155/http://lawreview.law.edu/page.cfm?id=10 |archivedate=30 March 2009 }}</ref>
