Introduction to Journal Staff Work
Overview of Journal Staff Work
The newer members of a law journal staff, the 2Ls, typically write a note or comment of publishable quality and cite-check the articles that are being published by the law journal.
The 3Ls serve as editors and fill the senior editorial staff positions, including senior articles editor, senior note & comment editor, senior managing editor and, editor-in-chief of the law review. The editors review and select articles for publication, manage the editing process, and assist the 2Ls in writing their notes and comment
This Journal Staff Research Guide is intended to assist journal members in through the steps of writing, cite-checking and editing articles.
