CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THREE EDITORIAL POSITIONS
The American Journal of International Law (AJIL) invites nominations for three editorial positions that are open to people who are not on the Board of Editors. Nominations, along with supporting information, such as a curriculum vitae and a list of publications, should be sent to the AJIL’s Administrative Editor: admin_ajil@law.duke.edu. Self-nominations are welcome. The deadline for nominations is February 15, 2022. All three positions require a significant time commitment, as well as attention to detail and the ability to manage many tasks and meet deadlines. We especially encourage nominations of people from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, and of anyone who would make the AJIL editorial team more diverse. Questions about the positions may be sent to admin_ajil@law.duke.edu.

Book Review Editor: Identifies books for review; solicits reviewers for selected books; works to ensure diversity in coverage and authors; edits book reviews for content and style; works with the editors-in-chief and the Board to ensure broad coverage of the field and to develop timely ideas for review essays.

Contemporary Practice of the United States: Monitors government publications and the news for current events relating to international law; selects topics to cover; writes and edits content; works to ensure coverage of a diverse range of topics and actors; works closely with the editors-in-chief and the Board.

Managing Editor of AJIL Unbound: Works with the Supervising Editor of AJIL Unbound and with the other Managing Editors to develop symposia and recruit authors; manages the details of the production schedule and ensures on-time submissions; edits essays for content and style.
