CIRCUIT REVIEW (JRNL7163-67)
1 credit per semester for member. 1
to 2 credits per semester for editor.
Maximum of 6 credits.
The Seton Hall Circuit Review is a student-run scholarly
journal that was founded on the recognition that while thousands
of cases are appealed to the federal courts of appeals, only a
handful are ever reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United
States. This deferral leaves tremendous power in the hands
of circuit judges. For practitioners, the courts of
appeals provide binding law, and until the Supreme Court speaks,
a practitioner's respective court of appeals is the supreme
arbiter of the law for that circuit. Based on this, premise
the Circuit Review aims to publish scholarly articles and
student comments that analyze recent important developments in
all areas of the law at the federal appellate level.
Members of the Circuit Review are expected to write a comment
that addresses a novel topic within the journal's scholarly
focus, as well as participate in all facets of the publication
process. New members are chosen by the current Editorial Board
upon, at the end of the first year of law school, and based on a
journal write-on competition. The Editorial Board is
chosen by election of the entire Circuit Review membership. Course is graded on a Pass/D or Fail basis. To receive
credit for the Circuit Review, a student must first complete
a comment for the Journal.

section. The staffing and projects section essentially functions
as a research resource for the New Jersey State Legislature.

several legislative staffs. The work performed by these interns
includes legal-legislative research and bill drafting. In
addition, the Bureau undertakes special ad-hoc projects requested
by legislators. The relationship between the Legislature and the
Bureau is that of the traditional attorney-client relationship, in
order to preserve and encourage political neutrality.
The Bureau also publishes the Seton Hall Legislative Journal,
dedicated to the examination of legislation and the legislative
process. Authors include lawyers, judges, law school professors,
legislative experts, and students. Journal members acquire
valuable skills and expertise in scholarship as well as legal
writing and editing.
The Bureau also presents a symposium which annually identifies
and researches a major topic of political and/or social
consequence in New Jersey. A panel of prestigious speakers is
assembled to discuss and debate the topic, and the Bureau
publishes a symposium edition of the Legislative Journal.
Members of the Journal and Bureau staffs are chosen in the
spring or summer of their first year by the current and
newly-elected Editorial Boards. Selection is based on a writing
competition, grades, personal interview, and prior legislative
experience. The Editorial Board is chosen by election of the
entire organization. Throughout the year, speakers from the
Legislature, the legal profession, government, and the private
sector address the members. The Journal and the Bureau come
together under the guidance of a student and faculty director.
Course is graded on a Pass/D or Fail basis. To receive any
credits for the Legislative Journal, a student must first complete
a student note or comment for this Journal.
