It's Fall write-on time for the Texas Journal of Women, Gender and the Law! TJWGL 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 18, 2015 at 5:00pm to the TJWGL box at the Communications Center, or email brithenderson@utexas.edu with the subject: “TJWGL APPLICATION.”

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

TJWGL 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.

TJWGL 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 TJWGL staff members.

Staff members have the opportunity to take part in more than simple cite-checking. As a member of TJWGL, 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 Brittany Henderson at brithenderson@utexas.edu.
