Conferences

Each year, the NCLR holds a four-day conference hosted by a member publication. The conference allows law review editors from member publications an opportunity to exchange ideas on issues common to student-edited publications.

Typically, the annual conference includes panels of law review editors, faculty advisors, and academic authors. Conference attendees also have the opportunity to hear from the foremost members from the legal community, meet with publishing and other service vendors, and socialize with a diverse group of law review editors from across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

All member publications are invited to attend the annual conference.

For more information on the 2006 conference, please visit the John Marshall College of Law, NCLR 2006 website.

Bidding for and Hosting the NCLR

There are a number of benefits associated with hosting the annual National Conference of Law Reviews. The host school has the chance to gain national recognition for both its law review and its law school. By hosting the NCLR, the host review bolsters its image as a leader in both the legal writing community and the larger legal community. Furthermore, as ex-officio member of the Executive Board, the host review has the opportunity to take part in the decisions of the NCLR Executive Board.

Reviews that are considering hosting the annual conference should begin planning at least two years in advance of the proposed conference date. At the annual spring conference, the prospective host review will bid to host the NCLR conference two years in advance of the present conference. For example, prospective host reviews for the 2008 conference will bid at the 2006 conference. Prospective host reviews are invited to give a brief presentation before the Executive Board and the General Assembly.

The NCLR invites all members to submit bids to host the annual conference. If your review is considering hosting the 2008 conference, please download the following application and contact the NCLR National Headquarters for further information.
