This course grants credit to Editorial Board members of the CityU Law Review (CityU LR) for their production responsibilities on the Board and for researching, writing, and editing a scholarly work. The course aims to do the following: 

• cultivate the skills necessary to identify an appropriate topic, find relevant research materials to develop and support an argument, and draft an original, scholarly work of publishable quality;
• develop students’ ability to peer review classmates’ work constructively;
• reinforce students’ understanding of research ethics by practicing and enforcing good citation practices;    
• train students to review scholarly submissions, edit submissions, and publish a law journal;
• enable students to explore other activities related to producing a law journal, such as coordinating with the publisher, marketing, and organising academic conferences; and
• enable students to explore, as part of a team, what publishing a law journal entails.
