Role of Student Editors

The AYBIL is Australia's longest standing and most prestigious dedicated international law publication. The Year Book aims to uniquely combine scholarly commentary with contributions from Australian government officials. 

Student Editors work closely with Academic Editors of the Year Book to edit and produce the journal. This involves proofreading articles, checking footnotes, and verifying all citations to ensure compliance with the Australian Guide to Legal Citation. 

Each Student Editor is acknowledged in print, and receives a copy of the volume they are involved in (subject to supply). The role is voluntary.
