How many credits to take with Law Review?

[RMiller]

I'm a rising 2L and will be on Law Review staff this year...and I'm wondering how many credits I should be taking with Law Review.  Law Review itself is 1 credit per semester.

During my 1L year, I had 16 credits each semester and, while challenging, it was not overwhelming.  Right now, I am debating between taking 4 classes plus law review (for 13-14 credits) versus taking 5 classes plus law review (for 16-17 credits). 

Since I know law review is going to be a LOT of work, I'm torn on if I should commit to a 5th class...

What say you, LSD?

LR + interview season = 4 classes.

LR + interview season = 4 classes.

THIS!  Depends on your school, but I had over 300 hours of non-note work for law review that semester.  I took only 10 hours of actual classes.  Thank goodness.

100% agree.  Take the least amount of credits possible.

I agree. As everyone else said, not only do you have your regular courseload and law review work, but also OCI to contend with.
