Membership

Membership on the Cumberland Law Review is available to those students in the top fifteen percent of the 1L class, determined at the close of the second semester, who successfully complete a write-on competition, known as the Candidates Program, consisting of a Bluebook examination and casenote submission. A student must successfully complete both phases to become a member of the Review. Members of the Review's editorial staff perform cite checks, attend mandatory meetings, write surveys tracking legal developments, and submit a comment for publication consideration.

Submissions

The Cumberland Law Review considers articles, essays, notes, and comments from professionals and professors with a law degree for both its print and online publications. Individuals who wish to submit a piece for publication should consult the Review's website for specific submission instructions.

Seminars

The Cumberland Law Review hosts a yearly academic seminar, either in the form of a Symposium or a Colloquium. In the past, the Review has hosted symposia on Alabama Dram Shop Liability, the legal practice in the wake of COVID-19, Harper Lee's works, and alternative dispute resolution.
