PaperCLIP is an on-line business and intellectual property law journal that accepts manuscripts of any length from students, professors, and legal professionals. It specializes in shorter, timely, practice oriented pieces, but also publishes longer articles.

The journal welcomes outside submissions. Unlike most law journals, however, PaperCLIP welcomes less than polished papers and even ideas for articles. Student staff members are happy to work in conjunction with legal practitioners to take an embryonic idea and turn it into a finished article.

Anyone interested in publishing with PaperCLIP should submit their idea, draft, or finished work electronically to the attention of the Editor-in-Chief at [email protected].

Dear JLR Members,

Thanks to everyone who came out to see the Immigration & Secure Communities event last week.  It was very informative and a great success.  Next semester, the Criminal Law Society is planning a border patrol tour and we are hoping to have spots available for JLR members.  Check out the upcoming events, including the next JLR General Meeting on Nov. 17, that are happening around town! Also, feel free to stop by the JLR booth (student org room on the 5th floor) and pick up a bumper sticker to support the GOP & your favorite candidate. If you have not paid your dues, you can make a check out to the "Jefferson Law Republicans" for $15 and leave it with the secretary in Student Services on the 6th floor, prior to our next meeting. See you all at the next General Meeting on the 17th!

Sincerely,
JLR Executive Board
