: ZiefBriefLooking for a Topic for Your Law School Paper, or Law Review Comment or Note?
We've just updated our ever-popular guide to finding topics for law review comments/notes and law school papers. Plus, we've moved it to a new platform that presents the tips and techniques in a more useful and accessible way.
Getting inspiration for your paper or law review topic often involves digging into what is new or controversial in law. The Finding A Topic? guide suggests suggests a variety of places to look for new developments and for controversy.
Once you have a potential topic in mind, the best advice on refining that topic and developing a thesis is in Chapter 2 of Elizabeth Fajans & Mary R. Falk, Scholarly Writing for Law Students: Seminar Papers, Law Review Notes, and Law Review Competition Papers, 3rd ed. (Thomson/West 2005) (with a new edition coming out in a late December 2010).
