A University of Wyoming College of Law second-year student, Caleb Smith, from Trenton,
Utah, will join the editorial board of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy鈥檚
(HJLPP) annual Federalist Society National Student Symposium Issue. Smith is the fourth
UW student to be selected for the special issue.
The HJLLP is one of 14 student-edited journals at Harvard Law School and is published
three times a year by an organization of Harvard Law School students -- the Harvard
Society for Law & Public Policy Inc.
During the application process, Smith sent in his CV as well as a writing sample.
His experience includes serving as a staff editor for the Wyoming Law Review and as
a guest editor for the Texas Review of Law and Politics, which provided an understanding
of Bluebook citation rules and editing and revision skills.
鈥淐aleb has distinguished himself through the qualities that make an excellent legal
editor: careful judgment, disciplined research and a command of legal writing. I am
very pleased for Caleb, and I have every confidence that he will make a strong contribution
to the symposium issue,鈥� says Professor George Mocsary, for whom Smith worked as a
research assistant.
Ethan Drewes, of Longmont, Colo., was the College of Law鈥檚 most recently selected
editor in 2024. Drewes, who graduated this year, will clerk for Wyoming Supreme Court
Justice Lynn Boomgaarden.
This year鈥檚 issue in volume 49 will feature the Federalist Society鈥檚 45th National
Student Symposium, which took place March 13-14 at the Sandra Day O鈥機onnor College
of Law at Arizona State University in Phoenix. Speakers and events focused on how
the fundamental principles of the U.S. Constitution could be renewed and revitalized.
The issue will include articles written by symposium participants with a similar theme.
Smith graduated from Utah State University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in international
business. At UW, he has been a staff editor for the Wyoming Law Review, served as
vice president of the Natural Resource Law Club and will assume the role of managing
editor of Wyoming Law Review.
Smith is interested in property, business and natural resources law and is working for BBG Construction Law this summer.
