Role of a Student Editor
A Student Editor at IRCCL would be expected to review articles, submitted on a rolling basis, by law students and practitioners. Typically, the interest area of the Student Editor would be taken into consideration while allocating articles to her/him for review. An article is expected to be reviewed within a period of 5 working days from the date of its receipt.
Beyond the primary work of reviewing articles, a Student Editor would play a key role in the general administration of the blog including ensuring that the editorial team members are working as per expectations.

The applicant’s profile should ideally display his/her interest in any of the subject areas that fall within IRCCL’s domain (insolvency law, taxation law, dispute resolution law, competition law, corporate/securities law, trade law, or employment law).
Please note that a person already holding an editorial position at a publication platform dealing with corporate and commercial laws would not be eligible for applying to the position.
Previous Experience
