Osgoode Hall Law Journal Editor Recruitment

Why Join the OHLJ?

Student editors will gain exposure to contemporary legal scholarship and will quickly develop enhanced legal research and writing skills. Editors are responsible for everything from the editorial review of article submissions to the full editing of articles in preparation for publication. Through exposure to scholarly writing, editors will develop an eye for high-quality work and research, providing a foundation for their own studies. Students will also find the editorial board is a collegial, friendly, and non-competitive place where they will form relationships with students from other sections and years, Osgoode faculty, and academics.

After completing one year as an Associate Editor, students are eligible to apply for a Senior Editor position. Senior Editors earn course credits for their work on the Journal and write a book review, which may be selected for publication in the OHLJ. Senior Editors may also take on leadership positions on the editorial board.

Editor Selection Process

All interested first- and second-year Osgoode JD students are invited to apply for a position as an Associate Editor with the OHLJ. The OHLJ selects Associate Editors in early September through a holistic application process.
