Hastings Law Journal

Hastings Law Journal is the oldest law journal at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.[1] It began in 1949 in San Francisco, California.[2] As of 1997, it is under the umbrella of the O'Brien Center for Scholarly Publications.[3] The Journal has six issues per volume in December, January, March, May, June, and August.[4] Every year, the Journal hosts a symposium inviting speakers from around the country on varied topics.[5] One issue per volume is dedicated to articles on the Symposium.[6] Washington & Lee ranks Hastings Law Journal well, coming in at number 31 in 2011.[7] The application process is an anonymous write-on competition during the summer after first year exams. Some students are accepted by grades alone, some by the writing competition alone, and some by a combination. Special circumstances expressed in a personal statement are also considered. Transfer students may also participate in the write-on competition later in the summer.
