Lawfare, the web's premier source for news and analysis in national security law, is seeking interested and highly motivated law students to help build Lawfare's emerging Wiki library. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to support the Lawfare editorial team, contribute to the website's success, and research current issues in national security. Students must commit no less than 5 hours a week to supporting Lawfare remotely, and on their own time. Substantively, students will identify and summarize key primary source materials, outline particular areas of national security law, and generally assist in conceptualizing the Wiki.
This is a great way for interested law students to gain exposure to national security law and current events, sharpen their research and writing skills, and interact with the Lawfare team. Pro bono credit may be available for students.
If you’re interested, send your resume and a brief statement of interest to Jane Chong.
