The Clinical Law Review Seeks New Members for its Board of Editors
The Clinical Law Review seeks applications for one or more vacancies on the Board of Editors. The Board of Editors urges you to apply if you think you would be interested in contributing to the advancement of clinical legal education through one of these positions. We also urge you to think about others whom you would encourage to apply.
The Clinical Law Review is a semi-annual peer-edited journal devoted to issues of pedagogy and theory concerning clinical and externship education, lawyering, and social justice. The Review is jointly sponsored by the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), the Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA), and New York University School of Law (NYU) and seeks to promote the scholarship impact of and synergies in the work of clinical law teachers, externship teachers, and other scholars.
Board Positions
The Clinical Law Review Board has authorized the selection of five Board members in academic year 2026-2027 for a 6-year term commencing on January 1, 2028. The primary role of Board members is to edit articles for the Review. Because this is a peer-edited journal, the editing process is far more collaborative than the standard editing process in student-run law journals.
Board members also serve as small group facilitators at the annual Clinical Law Review Writer's Workshop. In addition, Board members help shape and advance the mission of the journal, most recently through an extensive community survey, a revised mission statement, and new governance approaches. There is at least one Board meeting per year, usually held at the annual Workshop, which Board members are expected to attend. In the past, the Board has also met at the annual conference of the AALS Clinical Section.
Selection Process
The Committee designated to select one to three new Board members is chaired by Jennifer J. Lee (Temple) (outgoing Board member), and includes Alexander Scherr (University of Georgia) (outgoing Board member), Allison Korn (Duke) (CLEA), Madalyn Wasilczuk (South Carolina) (CLEA), Gautam Hans (Cornell) (AALS) (current Board member), Rachel Camp (Georgetown) (AALS), and Randy Hertz (NYU) (Editor-in-Chief), and Daniel Harawa (NYU) (current Board member). AALS, CLEA, and NYU—the three organizations that sponsor the Clinical Law Review—designate two committee members each to serve on the Selection Committee.
Applicants to the Board should explain their interest in the position they are applying for and should highlight relevant aspects of their experience. The Board seeks applications from people committed to the work of the Review and strives to select people with diverse backgrounds and varying experiences in and approaches to clinical legal education. Applications and supporting resumes must be received no later than July 1. Please email them to: jenniferjlee@temple.edu.
