RILEY INSTITUTE AT FURMAN UNIVERSITY The Riley Institute empowers emerging and established leaders—across sectors and throughout society—with the knowledge and tools to advance equity and drive social and economic progress in South Carolina and beyond. We work to strengthen public education; promote the power of diversity to help teams, organizations, and communities thrive; and elevate informed, evidence-based approaches to critical public issues. In all it does, the institute is committed to nonpartisanship and a bias-free path to change. CHARLESTON LAW REVIEW The Charleston Law Review is an independent organization composed entirely of second- and third-year students at the Charleston School of Law. To gain membership in the Charleston Law Review, students must compete in a writing competition that begins after spring semester finals conclude. After the writing competition is completed, membership offers are made to students based on a combination of grades and the scored writing piece. The Charleston Law Review’s primary objective is to foster the knowledge and insight of students, practitioners, scholars, and the judiciary through a traditional forum dedicated to advancing innovative legal expression, composition, and scholarship. Members of the Charleston Law Review contribute to this objective by editing articles, writing notes, and actively participating in all aspects of the publication process. This participation enables members of the Charleston Law Review to develop invaluable analytical skills and receive extensive writing and editing experience.
