Newsletter on Philosophy and Law

Announcement

Next Editor for Newsletter on Philosophy and Law sought

Richard Nunan, the current Editor of the APA Newsletter on Philosophy and Law, will complete his five-year term of office as of June 30, 2000. Consequently, the APA Committee on Philosophy and Law is now soliciting nominations (including self-nominations) for that position. The term of office runs from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2005. To ease the transition, there is some overlap of editorial duties during the first months of the new editor’s term of office. Specifically, the old editor will be responsible for organizing the Fall 2000 issue of the Newsletter, and the new editor’s first responsibility will be for the Spring 2001 issue. (Similarly, the last issue for which the new editor bears responsibility will be Fall, 2005.)

APA newsletter editorships are uncompensated service contributions to the profession. The primary duties of the Newsletter on Philosophy and Law Editor include: solicitation of guest editors and (for issues without guest editors) of article contributions; refereeing unsolicited contributions; soliciting law review article abstracts from APA Commitee members (and writing several of your own for each issue); critiquing articles for content reform when necessary; editing articles for grammatical, spelling, and citation errors, and for APA formatting requirements; submitting print and disk copies of the complete issue MS to the APA national office for final formatting and printing. The Editor is also an ex officio member of the APA Committee on Philosophy and Law.

Nominees should submit a letter of interest and CV to the Philosophy and Law Committee Chair:

Professor Stefan Baumrin
