The International Journal of Communications Law & Policy (IJCLP) is seeking motivated individuals to help edit articles for publication. Copy editors will work closely with a senior editor to polish submissions and ready them for publication. Editors will receive masthead credit on pieces on which they work.
The IJCLP is a peer-reviewed law journal devoted to the changing law, policy and technology of media regulation around the world. Previous volumes have dealt with e-government, Internet regulation, cybercrime, privacy, and comparative examinations of national telecommunications regulation regimes, among other topics. The IJCLP is a semi-annual publication, publishing both online and in print. The journal also co-sponsors (with the Information Society Project) an annual conference at the Yale Law School.
The IJCLP offers a unique opportunity for law students to work with researchers and practitioners from around the world on cutting-edge scholarship. Candidates should have strong writing skills, have an eye for detail, and work well without micro-management. Experience with the Bluebook is required. Interested students should submit a short statement of interest and a C.V. in Word, WordPerfect, or PDF format, to Simone Bonetti (simo.bonetti [at] tiscali.it) & Luigi Russi (luigi.russi.business [at] gmail.com).

The J. Willard Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History is sponsored by the Institute for Legal Studies in conjunction with the American Society for Legal History (ASLH). Each Institute is organized and chaired by a well-known legal historian and includes visiting senior scholars who lead specialized sessions. While sessions have been held biennially, it is possible the Institute will move to a three year cycle.
For each Hurst Institute, a committee appointed by the ASLH reviewed applications from beginning faculty members, doctoral students with completed or almost completed dissertations, and recent J.D. graduates, and selected 12 junior scholars from around the world as Institute Fellows. The Fellows came to Madison for two weeks to participate in seminars, meet other legal historians, and discuss their own work.
The Next Hurst Institute: June 14-27, 2009. We are pleased that Barbara Welke, Associate Professor of History and Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota will chair the Hurst Summer Institute again in 2009. Guest scholars will be named at a later date. The two-week program is structured but informal, and features discussions of core readings in legal history and analysis of the work of the participants in the Institute. Applications will be accepted in Fall 2008 when more complete information will be posted.
Applications will be accepted Dec. 1, 2008 – Jan. 15, 2009.
