STUDENT EDITORS
Each year, ten students studying the Bachelor of Laws at Macquarie participate in editorial work for the journal as part of the elective Unit LAW433 Macquarie Law Journal.
The unit introduces students to the practical and academic aspects of legal publication. Under the supervision of the editor, students learn about the process of assessing and refereeing academic legal work and practice their legal research and editorial skills in the preparation of the journal for publication.
