The McGeorge Law Review’s annual “Greensheets” issue consists of student-authored pieces discussing the background and legal implications of recently enacted California legislation. The “Greensheets” issue is the most popular issue of the year—and is one of the most widely read issue of any law review in the country by state legislators, judges, and lobbyists. Its purpose is to provide practicing members of the bench and bar a point of reference for what the new legislation does, how it changes the law, and why it may have been enacted. The distinctive academic publication is published annually in the spring.
Students author and edit the pieces, gaining both practical experience and curricular benefits as members of the McGeorge Law Review. In addition to writing, editing, and the possibility of becoming a published author, staff members have the opportunity to network with legislative committees, lobbyists, and policy analysts.
