The Federal Communication Law Journal (FCLJ) is one of nine academic journals published by students at The George Washington University Law School. The FCLJ is the official journal for the Federal Communications Bar Association, and in serving this important role, often features articles and essays by commissioners in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), members of the United States Congress, and prominent professors and practitioners. The FCLJ publishes three issues each year featuring articles, book reviews, student notes, and commentaries focusing on domestic and international communications issues. Select students are invited to join the staff of the FCLJ during the summer following their first year of law school. Invitations are extended based on first-year academic performance and a writing competition held at the end of the first year. Students select articles for publication, edit and proofread these articles, and verify the accuracy and form of cited sources. The FCLJ also publishes several student-written articles and notes.
