M.A./J.D. students named top editors for First Amendment Law Review

Two students in the journalism and law schools' M.A./J.D. dual degree program were named the top editors for the First Amendment Law Review at the UNC School of Law for 2010-11.

Jonathan Jones from Zionsville, Ind., was named editor-in-chief. Nora Sullivan from Arlington, Mass., was named executive editor.

The dual degree program is a partnership between the Carolina journalism and law schools for students interested in mass communication law. The First Amendment Law Review (FALR) is a student-edited legal journal that seeks to promote and protect the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.
 
Jones earned his bachelor’s degree from the journalism school in 2001, and he worked for six years as a reporter at newspapers in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina covering crime, municipal government, education, growth and development.
 
Sullivan earned her bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University. She worked for three years at a law firm in Washington, D.C., where she served as the firm’s public relations manager.

A 2008 graduate of the J-school, Jabeen Ahmad, now in law school at Carolina, was named chief article and note editor for FALR.
