The Washington University Undergraduate Law Review is currently accepting proposal submissions for their Fall 2025 edition. Undergraduate students at any university are eligible to submit a proposal here before the October 3rd national deadline.They are looking to publish submissions covering an array of law-related topics and perspectives, both domestically and internationally. Submissions could be analyses of ongoing legal issues, proposals/solutions to legal challenges, or predicting upcoming legal topics. Please note that the  journal is NOT restricted to social science or humanities students: they solely require that submissions have a clear legal bent.

 

Roadmap Scholars Initiative. The University of Virginia School of Law Roadmap Scholars Initiative provides both academic support and practical experience to undergraduate students interested in attending law school by exposing them to different aspects of the legal profession. The program’s goal is to prepare our Scholars to be competitive applicants to any of the nation’s top law schools.  

College students apply to the program during their sophomore year. A strong preference is given to applicants who are first-generation college students, students with limited financial resources, and/or students who are interested in pursuing a legal career but lack access to opportunities to learn about law school, the admissions process, and the legal profession. Ideal candidates will show a record of high academic achievement, convey a passion for being challenged as a learner, and demonstrate a commitment to community service.  The Roadmap Scholars Initiative supports the Scholars at every stage of the process, with summer stipends, paid travel expenses to and from Charlottesville, room and board for the summer program, and funded LSAT course preparation. The program also has a mentorship program that connects the Scholars to current UVA Law students. The application is open and will close on February 1st. A link to the submission page can be found here. This summer our program will run between May 28th and June 20th.
