Selection
Membership on the Journal is competitive and sought-after among students at Wake Forest. Slightly less than half of each incoming staff is chosen based solely on grade point average. The remaining staff members are chosen during a summer "write-on" competition, organized in conjunction with the Wake Forest Law Review. Students draft a "note" from a closed-research problem book, generally pertaining to a pending case before the Supreme Court or a Circuit Court of Appeal. The note submissions are graded by the editors of each publication. The Journal also has a procedure whereby students with extensive work experience in intellectual property, and a demonstrated commitment to future employment in the field of intellectual property law, can apply to join the Journal as a staff member.The Journal has a staff of approximately 40 students, with 11 of those serving in an editorial capacity.http://ipjournal.law.wfu.edu/current.staff.php Professor Simone Rose serves as the faculty advisor.http://law.wfu.edu/x1874.xml
