Rutgers Law Review (1 or 2 per term; 6 maximum) Rutgers Law Review publishes critical legal opinion, including articles on important legal problems by authorities in their respective fields, student commentary, and book reviews. Selection is based on a competition in writing, analytical, and editorial abilities, as well as academic performance. 
Rutgers Computer and Technology Law Journal (1 or 2 per term; 6 maximum) Rutgers Computer and Technology Law Journal is a student-run, law review style publication. It focuses on issues arising from the interaction of computers and other technologies with the law. Emphasis in the past has been placed on three major areas: legal aspects of the computer industry, legal ramifications of the use of computers and other special technologies, and the application of computers and new technologies to the legal profession. Other recent topics include communications and environmental regulation. The journal is published semiannually, and a large part of it is written by students. Staff members are selected primarily through a writing competition, but members also may join by writing an article suitable for publication in the journal.
Women's Rights Law Reporter (1 or 2 per term; 6 maximum) Women's Rights Law Reporter is a quarterly journal of legal scholarship and feminist criticism published by students at the School of Law-Newark. Founded in 1970 by feminist activists, legal workers, and law students, and first published independently in New York City, the Women's Rights Law Reporter moved to Rutgers in 1972 and formally affiliated with the law school in 1974. It is the oldest legal periodical in the United States focusing exclusively on the field of women's rights law. The journal examines legislative developments, significant federal and state court cases, judicial doctrines, litigation strategies, the lives and careers of prominent women jurists, the legal profession, and other areas of law or public policy relating to women's rights.
Rutgers Race and the Law Review (1 or 2 per term; 6 maximum) Rutgers Race and the Law Review provides a forum for scholarship and dialogue on race, ethnicity, and the law.

Of special interests are treaties, agreements, and laws promulgated among different nations and the impact they have on people of color. Most staff members are selected through a writing competition; evaluation is based on writing and analytical skills. Interested applicants also may join by submitting an article suitable for publication.
Rutgers Law Record (1 or 2 per term) Rutgers Law Record is a student-run academic journal committed to publishing scholarly legal work in a paperless format.
