Students may be invited to become candidates for membership on Quinnipiac Law Review upon successful completion of twenty-three credit hours. Invitations are made following the conclusion of the semester in which a student (part-time or full-time) attains twenty-three credit hours (summer semesters excluded).

Students in the top seven percent of those who have completed twenty-three credit hours are invited to walk on to their choice of Law Review, Probate Law Journal or Health Law Journal. Students in the next eight percent of those who have completed 23 credit hours are invited to walk on to their choice of Probate Law Journal or Health Law Journal. Finally, if a student is in the top 50 percent of those who have completed 23 credit hours, but did not receive a walk-on invitation to the journal of their choice, he or she is eligible to compete in the three-journal-wide write-on competition.

Candidates must dedicate a significant amount of time to complete cite-check reviews and perform other duties. Candidates must also write a note or case note in accordance with established procedures and timelines.

Students who successfully complete these requirements will attain full membership at the end of their second year. They will be eligible to receive two academic credits in each of their last two semesters. The student's note or case note is eligible for publication and may also be used to fulfill the substantial paper component of the school's advanced writing requirement.
