We are looking for highly committed students with strong time management skills, excellent attention to detail and close familiarity with the AGLC4. 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 ‘2021 Committee Application’. Your cover letter should outline your reasons for applying, suitability for the role and expected graduation date.
