UCLA Law Review October 8, 2007
Posted by Barrett in : Law , trackbackI recently received the honor of being invited to join the staff of UCLA Law Review. In order to join, I had to participate in a write-on competition for transfer students. I am very pleased with the UCLA Law Review board for going to such lengths to accommodate transfer students. I know that many members of the board had to do a lot of extra work, just to extend membership to three transfer students. I am both excited and humbled to have received this honor.
My commitment to Law Review has two components this year: I must check cites, and I must write my own comment (essay/article), which requires me to do a three-credit independent study under the guidance of a professor. Currently, I am most concerned with finding a good topic and adviser. I am almost two months behind the non-transfer students in these two areas.
I am taking this opportunity to do research in the areas of international human rights and environmental law. I have been conducting preliminary research in climate change, water issues, and the environmental jurisprudence of regional human rights systems. I have (happily) discovered that the area of human rights and the environment has been covered more thoroughly by commentators than I had expected. As a result, I am having a difficult time finding a legitimate, timely, and innovative topic.
If you have any suggestions that you would like to share for research in the areas of international human rights and the environment, please post them here.
