Sixteen LSU Law students have been selected by the Journal of Energy Law and Resources Board of Editors and Senior Associates to serve as Junior Associates for Volume X.
The Journal of Energy Law and Resources is a student-edited academic journal based out of the Paul M. Hebert Law Center. A group of interested students founded JELR in November of 2011, and the first issue went into publication the fall of 2012. JELR is committed to developing and promoting scholarship on a diverse variety of topics related to energy and environmental law.
JELR’s membership consists of second- and third-year LSU Law students. Invitation to join is extended to students based on academic performance as well as writing and editing abilities as tested through an annual write-on competition. Selected students receive invitations during the summer between their first and second year of law school.
Upon acceptance, selected students become Junior Associates, they are inducted onto the JELR staff at the beginning of the second year, and continue in the role of Junior Associate throughout the spring semester. Junior Associates are charged with ensuring the authority and accuracy of all cited material in every article published in the JELR. Additionally, Junior Associates also spend the fall semester of their second year researching and composing an article to be considered for publication by the presiding Senior Editorial Board. At the beginning of their third year, Junior Associates are promoted to Senior Associate positions where they are charged with guiding the new Junior Associates class through the composition of their own articles.
Alternatively, Junior Associates may, at the culmination of their second year, run for a position on the Senior Editorial Board. In order to be selected for a position on the Senior Editorial Board, a Junior Associate must go through an interview and selection process conducted by the sitting Board Members. The newly selected Board Members spend the rest of their second-year training to take charge over the Senior Editorial Board and JELR for the following academic year. JELR is always advised by a committee composed of LSU Law faculty members, but is primarily run by its student board.
