LAW433: Law Journals
This unit of study is offered annually under the supervision of the editors of the Macquarie Law Journal, who are members of the full-time staff of the Macquarie Law School. The unit is limited to approximately 15 students per semester, who are selected on the basis of their academic results for the unit. Each student completes a range of tasks with respect to the Journal, including an initial reading of two allocated articles submitted to the Review; the preparation of a written recommendation to the Editor as to whether the articles should be accepted for publication; checking articles which have been accepted for accuracy and completeness; assisting in the editing and proofreading of accepted articles in the production process; and writing for submission to the Journal, one case note or book review. Students selected for this unit must be prepared to serve for six months so that duties may extend beyond the end of formal teaching and assessment, or commence before formal teaching. Classes on editing, research and writing are provided, and students also meet regularly with members of the Internal Editorial Board.
