Missouri Environmental Law & Policy Review

Membership

Associate Members are chosen through a writing competition held each summer. Any student having completed the required first year coursework may enter the writing competition if the student is able to serve at least two semesters on the Missouri Environmental Law & Policy Review.

Eight students are selected by highest composite score based 80% on GPA and 20% on the writing competition submission. Five more students are selected by highest composite score based 20% on GPA and 80% on the writing competition submission. Up to seven additional students may be selected based solely on the writing competition submission.

Associate members of MELPR are expected to write one case note per semester, complete footnote checking assignments as necessary, attend mandatory office hours, and write three environmental law update per year. Membership satisfies one academic/writing credit hour required for graduation. After one year as an Associate Member and completion of the Associate Member requirements, the student will become a full member of the Missouri Environmental Law & Policy Review. Members are required to write one comment during the academic year. Additionally, at the end of each year, the editorial board holds interviews to select its successors. The members selected to serve on the next year's editorial board will perform specific editorial duties in lieu of the writing requirement expected of other members.
