N.Y. Litigator

The N.Y. Litigator is the Journal of the Commercial and Federal Litigation Law Section of the New York State Bar Association. In 1995, St. John's University School of Law was chosen to be the home of the student editorial board of the N.Y. Litigator.  Each year, the student editorial board of the Bar Association prepares three issues of the N.Y. Litigator presenting a variety of articles written by professors and practitioners. The issues focus on current matters of concern in the litigation field. The N.Y. Litigator offers readers an assortment of articles on topics ranging from Admiralty and Marine Litigation, Anti-Trust Litigation, Alternate Dispute Resolution, Intellectual Property, Class Actions, Trial Practice, and much more. Staff members of the N. Y. Litigator are provided with an excellent forum to publish their own articles and reviews of recent decisions. Students who are accepted to the staff of the N.Y. Litigator gain valuable experience in developing advanced legal writing, research, and analytical skills beyond those normally learned in law school.  Membership in the N.Y. Litigator is offered to students who have attained a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and have successfully completed a writing competition.
