If there is one piece of advice that any incoming editor in chief should accept, it is this—be prepared. From the moment you step into your new role, there will be many expectations you need to fulfill. The executive board expects you to be a competent leader who is dedicated to the law review; the school and community expect you to publish in a timely fashion; the membership expects you to consider their competing commitments and responsibilities. You must be prepared to deal with these expectations and to figure out the best way to fulfill them.
