DUKE JOURNAL OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW & PUBLIC POLICY
MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
I, _____________________________________________, have read and agree to abide
by the Constitution and Bylaws of the Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public
Policy. I understand that I am making an exclusive commitment to the Journal for two
years. As part of this commitment, I agree to the following:
 I will serve as a Junior Staff Editor for my first year on the Journal. I will thoroughly
perform my cite-checking, source-pulling, and other assignments as they arise, and I
will turn them in on time. I will maintain communication with my Executive Editor
and, if appropriate, other members of the Journal staff.
 During the summer following my 2L year, I will grade casenotes submitted by rising
2Ls. If I am elected to the Executive Board, I will grade casenotes from both the 2L
and 3L competitions, and may need to return to school early to assist with orientation.
 If I am not elected to the Executive Board, or appointed as an Articles &
Commentaries Editor, for my second year on the Journal, I will serve as a Senior
Staff Editor. I will complete my assignments thoroughly and on time. I will remain in
contact with my Executive Editor and/or other members of the Executive Board as
necessary.
 If accepted to the Journal as a 2L, I will complete a publishable Supreme Court Case
Commentary prior to the beginning of my second year on the Journal. If accepted to
the Journal as a 3L, I will need to complete my Commentary during my 3L year.
 If I fail to perform my duties as a member of this Journal in a timely, thorough, and
conscientious manner, I may be removed from the Journal pursuant to the procedures
set forth in the Constitution and Bylaws. I acknowledge that I must maintain good
standing at the Law School in order to remain on the Journal. If my membership is
terminated for any reason, the Journal may contact any future employer and inform
them of my status.
 If I fail to complete my assignments in a timely, thorough, and conscientious manner,
I will be required to expeditiously redo any assignments that the Executive Board or
the Editor In Chief deem inadequate, and I may be removed from the Journal
pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Constitution and Bylaws. If my
membership is terminated for any reason, the Journal may contact any future
employer and inform them of my status.
