The Texas Journal on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights (TJCLCR) is now hosting its Fall Write-On Competition. The journal is accepting applications from ALL classes (1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, and LLMs). If you are interested in applying to be a staff member for TJCLCR, please email amandamoon@utexas.edu, or pick up an application from the circulation desk in the atrium. Applications are due Monday, September 8, by 11:59 PM.

It's Fall write-on time for the Texas Journal of Women and the Law! TJWL is one of the few journals that allows 1Ls to write-on, which often leads to an editorial board position during your 2L and 3L years. We welcome ALL students to apply!

Pick up an application at the Communications Desk in the Atrium. Completed applications should be turned in by Friday, September 19, 2014 at 5:00pm to the TJWL box at the Communications Center, or email laurendm@utexas.edu with the subject: “TJWL APPLICATION.”

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

TJWL is an innovative, student-edited journal dedicated to publishing legal scholarship that explores the cultural, racial, and socio-economic factors affecting women. We celebrate the advances made by women's advocates and seek to enhance the relationship between theoretical and practical perspectives by promoting discourse on gender and the law issues.

TJWL publishes twice during the academic year. Each publication includes a combination of three or four articles, notes, and/or comments. Preference for publication is given to student notes written by TJWL staff members.

Staff members have the opportunity to take part in more than simple cite-checking. As a member of TJWL, you may take advantage of opportunities to edit, work directly with authors, select materials for publication, and work on non-publication projects.

If you have questions or would like an application, please contact Lauren Miller at laurendm@utexas.edu.

Incoming students are invited to attend this afternoon event, created to introduce students to lawyering for social change in Austin and beyond, connect students with like-minded students and attorneys, and inspire students to dedicate their careers to social change across the non-profit, government, and private sectors.

Registration deadline midnight Tuesday, September 2, 2014
