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.

Are you interested in possibly pursuing a career in public service? Come learn about law practice in the public sector. Panelists will discuss their experiences as summer interns and staff attorneys with government and public interest organizations across the country.

Students from the Green Society will join UT President Bill Powers for lunch and conversation on Tuesday, September 9, from noon until 1:00 p.m.

Mike Grable, the president of Lone Star Transmission (Lone Star), will give a distinguished lecture about challenges to delivering electricity in Texas.

Lunch will be provided.
