Are you passionate about civil rights and social justice? Then the Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review wants you! MBSWLR is a student-run journal, publishing articles devoted to public interest, international and domestic civil rights and social justice perspectives on employee benefits, disability, elder, health, poverty, and social insurance law. 

Membership on the Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review ​is open to all to rising second-year (2L) and third-year (3L) law students, based on their individual performance in our annual write-on competition, which consists of a Decision Analysis and Bluebook exercise.  

This year, our annual write-on competition for Volume 27 will begin on Monday, June 16, and end on Monday, June 30. Membership decisions will be extended to students the week of July 3, 2025.   

Membership on MBSWLR provides the unique occasion for students to advance their writing, editing, researching, and analytical skills. Experience serving on such a Law Review increases employment opportunities and provides members with the valuable opportunity to work with fellow students, law school faculty, and legal scholars. And most of all – we have fun! 

If you are interested in participating in the write-on competition, please fill out this form by noon on Friday, June 13. This does not require you to participate, but rather ensures that you’ll receive information about the competition.
