Ralph Rohner's '63 typewriter on display in Catholic Law's Journals suite
Student authors at Catholic Law regularly commit themselves to exploring relevant legal issues by researching areas of particular interest and developing a piece of scholarship. In the 2023-24 academic year, eight of these articles, and four selections from the Student Scholar Series, were chosen for publication in the Catholic University Law Review, Volume 74.
Outgoing Editor-in-Chief of Volume 73, Ned Wilkinson ‘24, noted that “the selected authors worked hard all year to produce articles on a wide breadth of issues. The depth of their legal research and analysis is readily apparent within just a few pages of each article.”
Volume 74’s incoming Editor-in-Chief, Alyssa Calcerano (3E), shared her congratulations to the students who were selected to be published. “The dedication of this year’s staff writers is commendable, and all of the selected student works will make excellent contributions to the forthcoming Volume.” Calcerano continued, “It has been an honor to work alongside such a talented and thoughtful group of writers, and I look forward to being a part of our publication’s proud tradition of publishing student works.”
