ECI’s student research assistants are given the opportunity to develop and enhance their research and writing skills through hands on research projects.  Students in the research and writing program also have the opportunity to have completed research projects published in the ECI Interdisciplinary Journal for Legal & Social Policy, law reviews and and/or other law journals.

You will be assigned research topics based on your interest and ECI works in progress.  Student researchers should take the time to read the Student Research Manual that will be available in the ECI office and accessible online.   The manual provides a road map for your research and provides helpful information that ranges from developing an outline through the editing process.  Student researchers will meet weekly with their research supervisor as well as submit work product weekly for editing and comments.  Students are expected to work a pre-determined number of hours at the ECI office.
