The Nova Law Review (Bluebook abbreviation: Nova L. Rev.) is a tri-annual law review published by Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center. It was established in 1976. The journal is managed by a student-directed honor society, consisting of board members from the third year law class, edited entirely by second and third year students, and also publishes an online companion.
Membership selection
Membership qualifications are based solely on law students' high academic achievement at the end of the first academic year or students' performance during a writing competition conducted at the end of each school year. After this competition, students must complete the rigorous summer candidacy program, requiring them to write a law review article of publishable quality, in addition to intense editing training throughout the summer.
