MembershipAn invitation to write on to the Journal by participating in our candidates program is extended to students at Cumberland School of Law who are in the top one-third of their class after their second or third semester. Students are eligible for membership only once. The Summer Writing Program is conducted in June and July for all Cumberland 2L The Winter Writing Program is conducted in January for 2L students at Cumberland who moved into the top one-third of their class after their third semester OR who transferred into Cumberland their second year and are ranked in Cumberland's top one-third. Look at our January Program Schedule and plan ahead to participate! NOTE: The above should not be construed to mean that 1Ls have a choice of which writing program to participate in. Deferrals of candidacy from the summer to winter are rarely granted (when a formal written request is made in June, and only for an exceptional reason); most students will have only one opportunity to write for membership. The Journal may extend a one-time offer to write on by participating in our candidates program to one or more of the following 1L students: (1) the authors of the best memos or briefs in Cumberland’s Lawyering Skills and Legal Reasoning Program; (2) the finalists of the Parham H. Williams Freshman Trial Competition; or (3) the winners of the Donworth Freshman Moot Court Competition.
