Even though it is the 2nd week of school, I have some very big decisions to make that effect my 2nd and 3rd year of law school. One decision is whether to enroll into the Moot Court program or the Law Review. In order to do Moot Court next year, I will need to complete the Soap Box prerequisite. Therefore, I need to enroll in the Soapbox in the next few days and present a 10 minute oral argument during the week of Sept. 8th.
As I mentioned in my last post, I am going to do Soapbox since I want to keep my options open. (I have to decide if I want to do Law Review later in the year.) I learned today that we have an intellectual property moot court team which is definitely something I am interested in. However, it seems the the Law Review is more esteemed in the legal field (unless I am going to be a litigator...which I doubt I will be). Either program will be great, but its a key decision that I need to make and it will effect my legal career.
On Thursday, a Moot Court representative will be talking to our class to help clarify questions we might have. I am definitely looking forwards to it.
What is your opinion? Should I do moot court, or law review?

Law Review is something that stays on your resume your entire professional career. If you can make Law Review, you should definitely do it. Usually to make the Law Review though, you need to finish the first year in the top 5-10% of your class. So, much easier said than done.
