Second-year associates on the Indiana Law Journal have three primary responsibilities:

• Cite-checking: 2L Associates complete four cite-checking assignments per year. These assignments consist of reviewing a portion of a law review article and making corrections as required by the Bluebook and the Chicago Manual of Style.
  
• Proofreading: 2L Associates are paired with 3L members of the Journal to complete final proofreading of articles. Proofreading hours are assigned as necessary during the course of the year.
  
• Note Requirement: 2L Associates are required to write and submit a Note for possible publication in the Journal. Minimum length and research requirements are provided by the Executive Notes and Comments Editor.

There are a number of positions on the Editorial Board for 3L members of the Journal. All positions require candidates to successfully complete their responsibilities as Associates. Members of the Executive Board are chosen through an election process, while the remaining positions are filled by appointment.

Third-year members of the Indiana Law Journal may serve in a number of capacities:

• Executive Board: Elected by peers, these leadership positions include the Editor-in-Chief, the Senior Managing Editor, the Executive Notes & Comments Editor, the Executive Articles Editor, and the Executive Editor.  Executive Board members can receive 2 credit hours per semester during 3L year.
• Board: Appointed after an interview process by the Executive Boards of the incoming and outgoing volumes, the Board positions include Managing Editor, Articles Editor, Notes & Comments Editor, and Assistant Editor (for Journal members studying abroad during 3L year).  Board members can receive 2 credit hours per semester during 3L year.
• Editorial Staff: 3L members may elect to serve on the Journal's editorial staff.  Editorial staff positions are only responsible for proofreading assignments and do not have regular board duties during the year.  These positions are designed primarily for members who have other responsibilities during the year, such as dual degree programs, clinical work, or Moot Court board.  No credit is offered for editorial staff positions.

All 3L members participate in proofreading with associate members.
