Staff Information

This site contains all the general information pertinant to the ELJ staff members. Please refer to the left-hand side navigation links for other ELJ information.

Second and third-year law students who are invited to join the BYU Education and Law Journal staff through the ELJ Write-on competition earn one credit toward graduation for each semester of participation. This requires a minimum contribution of 50 hours of editing per semester, as well as writing a case note. Some students elect to use their case note for the substantial writing requirement.

Additionally, the ELJ is the only BYU journal that offers second-year students Senior Editor leadership positions based on their write-on competition performance. Senior editors manage associates editors and gain valuable editing experience; and are automatically eligible for future leadership positions on the journal.

We look forward to welcoming many of you to our staff next year.
