Student editor 2027
The Co-editors of the Māori Law Review want to appoint a Student Editor for 2027 to assist with producing the Review.
This is an opportunity to work with a committed team of authors with expertise in legal issues affecting Māori.
The student editor's tasks will include:
- Coordinating, with the editorial team, the articles to be published each month;
- Assisting in the coordination of MLR events;
- Working with other volunteers to assist in the production of a digest of Māori Land Court decisions (including training, assigning cases, editing and feedback);
- Assisting with the Review’s social media presence; and
- Attendance at fortnightly editorial meetings with the Co-editors.
The student editor would be expected to work an average of 6 hours per week over 40 weeks, starting in March 2027 following an orientation period.
This is an unpaid role but one with significant opportunities for a person interested in working in this area of the law. The Review's former student editors are an impressive group of alumni.
Applications should include a cover letter and CV and should be sent to carwyn.jones@maorilawreview.co.nz by Wednesday 25 November 2026.
