Date: February 4th, 2010 9:22 AM Author: Bistre Library Half-breed Subject: tyia I'm trying to decide if I want to serve as EIC of my secondary journal. The journal is relatively young and not particularly prestigious. Its topic is directly relevant to an area of the law I'd like to work in post-graduation.
There is a strong likelihood that if I apply for the EIC job, I'll get it.
Relevant information: At the moment I have no job prospects. I already served one year on the edit board in a bullshit position. Without staying on the journal, my 3L year would be easy as fuck.
So my question: Is all the time and energy that I'd have to put in to do it correctly worth the bump on my resume from edit board member to EIC?

Date: February 4th, 2010 11:04 AM Author: magenta old irish cottage I did it...its a lot of bullshit as you get the stress of dealing with collegues who are unemployed as well and really dont give a crap about their journal or care too much where they are making your job 100 times harder. I still would have done it because some parts are rewarding and maybe 20 years down the road it might be a good line...
It does help the resume a little but me, the managing editor, and the articles editor still unemployed...basically Law Review nobody > EIC of secondary journal... |

what parts did you find rewarding? |

Date: February 4th, 2010 12:48 PM Author: magenta old irish cottage I liked having control over direction of journal in terms of content, procedure, or message. It did help people's image of you when your networking, especially if median. If you enjoy being in charge, it is nice, except if something bad happens where shit hits the fan. And it did feel good to see my name at the top of the masthead for the first issue. But then again, im still unemployed.
