Overview
Animal Law publishes two issues each year. The journal's objective is to educate readers about all sides of animal-related legal issues.{{cite web|url=http://www.aldf.org/article.php?id=271|title=Animal Law Books & Periodicals|publisher=Animal Legal Defense Fund|accessdate=2010-04-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613151930/http://aldf.org/article.php?id=271|archive-date=2010-06-13|url-status=dead}} The journal also publishes a Legislative Review on an annual basis, which covers developments in animal-related legislation at the state and federal levels. Animal Law is edited entirely by students.
Admissions
Members are selected in three ways. They can be admitted by virtue of their grades during their first year of law school. They can also be admitted by participating in an anonymous writing competition held by all three law reviews at Lewis & Clark Law School during the summer months. However, most members are admitted through a process in which students compete in a source-checking and editing competition at the end of their first semester of law school, then work as volunteer source checkers without academic credit during their second semester of law school. The students who earn top scores in the source-checking and editing competition are invited to source check the following semester and the students who excel during that semester are invited to join the law review as full members in their second year.{{cite web|url=http://www.lclark.edu/law/law_reviews/animal_law_review/join_our_staff.php|title=Join Our Staff|work=Animal Law Review|publisher=Lewis & Clark Law School|accessdate=2010-03-26| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100401201645/http://www.lclark.edu/law/law_reviews/animal_law_review/join_our_staff.php| archivedate= 1 April 2010 | url-status= live}}
