Smith is Fourth UW Editor for a Harvard Journal Special Issue

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's (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.

"Caleb 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," says Professor George Mocsary, for whom Smith worked as a research assistant.

Ethan Drewes, of Longmont, Colo., was the College of Law's most recently selected editor in 2024. Drewes, who graduated this year, will clerk for Wyoming Supreme Court Justice Lynn Boomgaarden.

This year's issue in volume 49 will feature the Federalist Society's 45th National Student Symposium, which took place March 13-14 at the Sandra Day O'Connor 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.
