This is our chance to showcase all that we love about this school and hope you'll share that enthusiasm with the class of 2021. Smile, say hello, throw waste in one of those fancy new trash cans we've got on the first floor. Thanks in advance.

The hourly pay is $19.99. The work is coding court records, including family law mediation agreements and court orders, from a study that Prof. Amy Applegate and others have been conducting in Washington, DC. The coding work can be done anywhere via your laptop. There will be training for new coders, and your time in training will be compensated at the same rate. Training and periodic meetings are held in person but remote participation is possible. Applicants who have taken family law and/or who have experience reviewing court dockets and records are preferred, but we will consider any motivated students or graduates able to devote sufficient time to this project over the next four or more months.
