The University of Virginia School of Law's Office of Graduate Studies seeks one or more part-time, seasonal admissions file readers. The file readers will focus on the holistic review of applications for admission to the Law School's full-time Master of Laws (LL.M.) program, which provides an American legal education to foreign-trained lawyers, the Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.), a four-to-five-year advanced degree program, and the Visiting Scholars program.

The file readers assist the assistant dean of graduate studies in analyzing the qualifications of prospective students and submitting evaluations and recommendations to the assistant dean through an electronic file management system.

File readers will be expected to communicate regularly with the Graduate Studies Office via telephone, email, and electronic platforms such as Teams or Zoom. The duration of the assignment is for the 2022-2023 admissions cycle: October 2022 through April 2023 (start and end dates flexible according to the needs of the department).

The position's compensation is $30.00 per hour with an average of 30 hours per week needed, with busiest times from early January to early March. Work will need to be be performed 100% remotely from within the U.S. Because file reader positions are remote, file readers must have access to reliable high-speed internet.
