George Mason Law Review
The George Mason Law Review is a student-run quarterly law review.[1]
History
The George Mason University School of Law was formerly the International School of Law, whose student-run publication, the International School of Law Review began in 1976. When the school became GMUSL in 1979, the publication became the George Mason University Law Review. Later, the review split with the administration, publishing for a time as the George Mason University Independent Law Review. After several years, the modern George Mason Law Review, as it is currently known, was born.
Membership selection
Using a competitive process that takes into account first-year grades and performance on a writing exercise, the George Mason Law Review offers membership to somewhere between 20 percent of the first year law school class.
George Mason Law Review Annual Symposium on Antitrust
Each year, the review holds a symposium on Antitrust Law, held in Washington, DC.[2] The symposium consists of a keynote address by a leader in the field, and two panels discussing new aspects of antitrust law. Past speakers have included J. Thomas Rosch, Commissioner, Federal Trade Commission, Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, Neelie Kroes, European Commissioner for Competition, and others. The Law Review publishes an issue dedicated to the symposium.
