With some law school journals' already accepting 1Ls for membership and board positions, and Review competition ready to suck up any energy remaining after exams, we felt this was a good moment to publish advice and other thoughts from people who have been there and have (or haven't) done that. The De Novo symposium on Law Review/ Journals will run this week; submissions are still welcome, especially from 1Ls who would like to post their reactions to this accumulated wisdom. Talk to us at submit-at-blogdenovo-d0t-org.

Today De Novo offers posts from two Ivy League law students, Amber Taylor and Anonymous, on what one might do other than the obvious -- i.e., joining the flagship journal of one's law school. Enjoy!
