1. Monash University Law Review – Editorial Committee applications now open
The Monash University Law Review is the flagship academic journal of the Faculty of Law at Monash University. It is highly regarded by the legal profession and international law schools.
The 2020 Editors and Faculty Advisors are accepting applications from current LLB and JD students to join the Editorial Committee in 2020. Committee members will receive training to complete 3–4 partial edits of an article during the course of the year. The time commitment per edit is approximately 10 hours. Involvement with the Review provides students with valuable practical skills in legal research, writing and editing, and is highly regarded by law firms and employers.
We are looking for highly committed students with strong time management skills, excellent attention to detail and close familiarity with the AGLC. Applicants with at least one full year of study remaining will be preferred. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, those with a disability and students from under-represented backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply, including those supported by Monash under the Equity definitions.
To apply, please send your CV, one-page cover letter and latest unofficial academic transcript to law.review@monash.edu with the subject line ‘2020 Committee Application’. Your cover letter should outline your reasons for applying, suitability for the role and expected graduation date. Applications will close at 5PM on 30 January 2020. Students will be notified if they have progressed to the next stage of the application process — an editing exercise — following the close of applications.
If you have any questions, please contact the Editors at law.review@monash.edu. We look forward to receiving your applications!
