Position Responsibilities
| Editor-In-Chief | The Editor-in-Chief is the chief officer and editor of Review. The Editor-in-Chief has the ultimate authority to determine what writings will be published in Review. The Editor-in-Chief also serves as the liaison among Review members and the Faculty and Administration of the Law School. The Editor-in-Chief must work with Review’s Faculty Advisors as well as any other interested Faculty members in planning and executing the summer Orientation for the Junior Staff Members. During the school year, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for calling and leading meetings of the Executive Board. Additionally, the Editor-in-Chief must oversee the Executive Articles Editors as they format pieces for publication and must review their work before publication of any issue of Review. The Editor-in-Chief is also responsible for formatting each article selected for publication according to the Publisher’s specifications. |
| Executive Editor | The Executive Editor is the liaison between the Editor-in-Chief and the Executive and Editorial Boards. The Executive Editor is responsible for administering the Executive Board’s commands and for maintaining Review’s high standard of editorial excellence. As such, the Executive Editor is responsible for ensuring that Review meets each deadline set by the Executive Board, overseeing the Executive Articles Editors as they format pieces for publication, and reviewing each proposed publication prior to its issuance by Review. Additionally, the Executive Editor must conduct a write-on competition, which serves as a pre-requisite to Review membership. And, the Executive Editor must assist the Editor-in-Chief in developing summer trainings for the Executive and Editorial Boards and in planning the summer Junior Staff Member Orientation. Thus, the Executive Editors operates in conjunction with the Editor-in-Chief to ensure the Review’s effective operation. |
| Executive Articles Editor | As an Executive Articles Editor, our duties include – editing professional articles (both blue booking and source booking the articles); serving as the point of contact between the board and the professional and student authors; creating publication timelines, managing the production team, troubleshooting source booking issues; and coordinating Junior Staff Member feedback with team leads. |
| Executive Student Articles Editor | The Executive Student Articles Editors oversee the Junior Staff Members on the Duquesne Law Review as they compose their own Student Article. This process goes on throughout the school year, as the Editor works with the JSMs at each stage of their own development. This requires close work with the JSMs to provide that their Articles meet publishable quality. The end goal is ensuring that the JSM produces a piece of work that reflects both their own high standard as a law student and the high standards of the Duquesne Law Review as a reputable source of legal scholarship. At the end of the year, the Executive Student Articles Editors propose to the Executive Board which Student Articles should be published in the next Volume of the Law Review. |
