Why did you choose to join the Law Review?
I joined the Law Review because I wanted to challenge myself academically, and it had always been a dream of mine to be published in an academic journal. The process of writing a Note was a unique experience to deeply investigate a legal issue and incorporate feedback and guidance from my peers and faculty advisor.
