1. Editor-in-Chief
2. Executive Editor
3. Articles Editors
4. Notes Editors
5. Comments Editors
6. Technical Editor
7. Production Editor

The Editorial Board is responsible for planning and directing all Journal operations for one year, the most important of which is actually publishing the Journal.

The responsibilities of having a position on the Editorial Board require each Editor to be available for substantial Journal work during the summer before their third year. All Editors are expected to work full-time for at least one week at the beginning of the summer and to give substantial amounts of time to Journal work throughout the summer. By agreement between them, one must be available at all times and be responsible for the day-to-day Journal operation. Outside employment during the summer should not interfere with Journal duties.
