Ohio Tort Law Journal:

Additional volunteer Research Assistants/Writers (RA/W) are needed for a book project on tort law.  The project commenced a few weeks ago, but several students were forced to drop out due to outside considerations.  Replacements are currently being sought.  Students who are interested in tort law, willing to work hard and eager to set themselves apart from their peers (and their competitors in the job market) are encouraged to apply.  The project will run the duration of the summer.  The positions can be either full-time or part-time, depending on your time commitments.  This is a cyber-commuting position, so you can work from home.

The RA/W will be responsible for researching specific areas of Ohio tort law, based upon the outline created by the Author, exploring the breadth and depth of the topic area.  Each participant will gain knowledge and experience by thoroughly dissecting topics areas while guided and directed by the Author in a friendly (ie: Non-Socratic) mentorship.  This is an excellent opportunity develop your knowledge, skills and expertise.  Each RA/W will work closely with the Author to turn the research product into a rough draft of the book.  The project will culminate in a new edition of the only professionally published treatise on Ohio tort law in existence.

To apply, please submit a resume, writing sample and indicate your preference for full-time or part-time.  Submissions should be sent to Christopher M. Ernst of Bricker & Eckler LLP at otl@clevelandprofessionals.com.  For more information please feel free to email or call (216-523-5472).
