Of the group that participates in the competition, the review then selects its members from those who have the highest combined grade point average and writing competition score. [3]
The Catholic University Law Review hosts a yearly symposium on a select area of law. Recent topics have included The State of Military Justice, the Judiciary Act of 1789, and FISA and the 4th Amendment, among others. [4]
