The Wake Forest Undergraduate Law Review is looking for thoughtful and impactful papers on pressing legal topics. The WFULR is the premier outlet for undergraduate legal scholarship at Wake Forest, and all published pieces will reflect that level of quality and strength of argument.
A law review is a 4,000 to 5,000 word argumentative paper that introduces a topic, makes a compelling and opinionated argument regarding the legal factors, and explains the real world implications. For more information, please review the proposal guidelines.
We consider all topics of proposal so long as they have legal precedent or implication. Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words and convey the context and importance of the topic as well as the purpose of your paper.
You will receive an email inviting you to write your paper with the support of the WFULR Editorial Board and to be published in the WFULR journal at the end of the fall semester. You will have 24 hours to accept or decline your selection, and then the writing and drafting process will begin. You will join the selective group of students who have published with the WFULR.
While we consider all topics, as a legal review we give precedence to papers with unquestionable legal backing and pressing real world relevance. We will provide all rejected proposals feedback upon request.

You will receive an email inviting you to write your piece with the support of the WFULR Editorial Board and to be published in Perspectives. You will have 24 hours to accept or decline your selection, and then the writing and drafting process will begin. You will be one of the founding contributors to Perspectives.
