Roles & Responsibilities

The Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL) is seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented Managing Editor to join our team. This position offers an excellent opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research on Asian legal systems, contribute meaningfully to high-quality legal scholarship, and gain hands-on experience in academic publishing. You will gain insight into peer review and editorial decision-making processes and become part of a vibrant network of scholars across Asia and beyond. This role is ideal for someone looking to deepen their understanding of comparative law in the Asian context, strengthen their academic writing and editing skills, and build a solid foundation for an academic or legal career.

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

The Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL), published by Cambridge University Press, is the leading forum for research and discussion on the law and legal systems of Asia. It welcomes theoretical, empirical, socio-legal, doctrinal, and comparative work that focuses on one or more Asian jurisdictions or compares them with non-Asian legal systems. The journal particularly values contributions that reflect an intimate understanding of Asian legal systems and offer insight into how these systems operate in context.
