Jotwell Summer Editor

Jotwell , the online journal of reviews of recent faculty scholarship relating to the law, needs a Student Summer Editor. The student editor supports faculty editors both at UM and elsewhere, and has a role that is a blend of a substantive editor and a managing editor.

The ideal candidate will be a current University of Miami School of Law 1L or 2L who is organized, a careful editor, and enjoys reading legal scholarship. Grades matter for this job, but a demonstrated ability to write and edit may substitute for grades up to a point. The job would start as soon as you are available after your Spring '14 final exams and run to mid-August;

there would be no problem if you wanted to take one or more vacation periods during that time, as long as none of them was for a long continuous period.

The workload typically runs 30 hours per week, and is paid at the law school's research assistant scale, which in most cases is $13/hr jotwell uses Word Press to publish, but it is easy to learn, so no experience needed.

Some preference may be given to applicants who indicate that they also would be willing to continue as a part of the team of Student Editors during the  school year, a job that typically takes 7-10 hours per week.
