Overview
Only students selected by the faculty as Student Editors of the "Monash University Law Review" enrol in this unit.

Student Editors are responsible for managing the student editorial committee; soliciting and reviewing academic articles for the journal; editing and checking the citations on accepted articles; and managing the process of publication and distribution of the journal. Student editors enrol in this unit to obtain credit for the learning achieved in the work of producing two issues of the journal. The set of activities undertaken by the Student Editors will depend on the stage at which the preparation for the next issue of the journal has reached at the time their enrolment commences and finishes, in accordance with a schedule approved by the Faculty Advisors who oversee the production of the journal.
