Membership Guidelines

ANRLR membership consists of students from the Michigan State University College of Law who have completed their first year of law school.

Prospective members should apply during the summer semester following their first year of law school by participating in the All-Journal Write-On Competition for the College of Law. This competition requires students to submit a case note or appellate brief, and to complete a Bluebook exam. ANRLR may elect to hold a Fall Write-On Competition if additional Associate Editors are needed.

Students who join ANRLR during their second year of law school are eligible to become members of the Editorial Board for the upcoming school year. The current Editorial Board will conduct the application and interview process for the incoming Editorial Board during the spring semester.
