Selection Process

The CityU LR selects about 20 students every year for its Editorial Board. Applications from full-time LLB and JD students of City University of Hong Kong are invited generally in August/September of each year and students will receive an email from the School of Law with instructions regarding the application timeline and procedures.

The primary selection criteria are: past academic performance, English proficiency, writing abilities, and past editing experience (if any). Applicants are also expected to have good analytical ability, a strong sense of commitment, and willingness to work/learn as part of a team.

Students selected for the Board are provided extensive training as well as opportunity to improve their writing and editing skills. Board members can also enroll in a 3-credit elective course: LW4667 / LW5667 City University Law Review. Please click here if you are interested in hearing from our alumni
