LexBlog is seeking a Digital Archive Intern with a passion for advancing the law in a world where secondary law is open and freely available to legal professionals and the public. 

LexBlog is backing the Open Legal Blog Archive (“Archive”), a database of all credible legal blogs, worldwide. 

As much legal insight and legal commentary – secondary law – is now published in legal blogs as in law reviews and law journals. However, this writing is not being preserved, nor is it in the proper context for search, citation or syndication to publishing partners and research and AI platforms. 

As a Digital Archive Intern, you will be working on the Archive to build a future where the digital publishing of legal professionals (the law) is permanent and publicly available for effective use by the public, legal professionals, law schools, legal research and AI platforms, bar associations, continuing legal education organizations and others. 

You will:

Find legal blogs, worldwide, on your own, with LexBlog partners and third-party partners 

  • Verify that the blogs comply with the Archive’s editorial policy 
  • Utilizing RSS feeds, work with LexBlog’s tech team to onboard new blogs to a database 
  • Help develop a taxonomy for the blogs and metadata 
  • Work with publishing partners, legal tech companies and research and AI platforms on the use of the Archive database
  • Announce additions of blog publications, blog authors and blog publishers on the Archive and across social media, primarily Twitter and LinkedIn, 

To qualify: 

  • You are a PhD – poor, hungry and driven to succeed, to be the best in your field
  • You are detail-oriented and well organized 
  • You work independently, yet are comfortable being part of a team 
  • You have a strong interest in the law, information management and library science 
  • Feel comfortable publishing to the Archive blog and in your use of social media

What’s in it for you? 

  • Opportunity to work at the forefront of open publishing in the law 
  • Work with a passionate and driven team to build the first taxonomy and database of legal blogs 
  • Learn how to effectively use blogging and social media to engage others so as to build relationships and a strong reputation – something that sets you apart from those who do not know how to use the Internet
  • Acquire skills and experience in knowledge organization and legal tech that will help you in your career as a law librarian/knowledge management professional 
  • Network with professionals in the field, particularly through social media
  • Get paid 
  • Work remote
