Madam Editor

So pysched to report that I have been chosen as the Managing Editor of Student Works for law review!!! In our application package we had to submit our top three choices, and this position was my number one choice.

As Managing Editor of Student Works I will be responsible for training all law review members in the publications process. I will assist the members in writing their notes (2Ls) and comments (3Ls). I will be primarily responsible for guidance and training to the 2L candidates this summer/fall. During the summer, I will be responsible for running the law review's write-on competition. The best news is that most of my responsibilities will essentially be complete by the end of fall semester, and I wll be able to devote spring semester to studying for the bar while still maintaining my position on the editorial board. In addition, I get my own office in the law review suite where I can work and study, which will be "sweet."

I believe that I could have been a candidate for the editor in chief position; but after a tremendous amount of thought, prayer, and consideration, I decided to let someone else take that position/headache. The only thing I admire about that position is the title; working insane hours for the next 52 weeks is not worth having a grand or glorious title. And, as per the candidates' applications, a lot more members were running for my position than for editor in chief. So, I'm thrilled. Woo Hoo!
