ABOUT US
The Commentary, California Western’s student newspaper since 1973, and has been online since Fall 2017! As we transition our school’s decades-long tradition of student-produced news onto our new platform, what we are missing is your content! Anything from TV/movie reviews and sports news to legal commentary and school news is a great fit for our publication.
NO BLUEBOOKING is involved, and you can have your piece published within a couple of weeks or even days! Plus, being a Commentary contributor is a great way to promote a club or event, shed light on an important issue, or diversify your resume while sharing your interests and passions with the California Western community. We encourage students, faculty, staff, and alumni to write an article about a topic that interests them!
For 1Ls especially, this is a terrific opportunity to get involved on campus, meet upperclassmen, and build up some writing experience before being considered for Law Review/International Law Journal as a 2L. We also invite Cal Western staff, faculty, and alumni to submit content.
