Posting a Job  

  1. Login to 12Twenty, if not already logged in.
  2. In the “Post a Job” rectangle in the top, right of the home screen, click the blue “+ POST” button.
  3. Fill out the “Create Job Posting” form. The “Employer” name should be “The University of Iowa College of Law.” The Job Title should be in the following format: “LRA for Prof. First Last Name – [optional additional details].” For example, “LRA for Prof. Severus Snape – Potions Indexing.” If the LRA posting is for a department, it should be in the following format: “LRA for the Center Name – [optional additional details].” Fields with an asterisk are required, the remaining fields are at your discretion.  
  4. In the “Application Method(s)” section, you may choose to have students “Apply via This Site” (meaning that applications will be collected and saved on 12Twenty), or “Apply via Email” (meaning that applications will be sent directly to the email you choose to input). Students do not typically apply for LRA positions through the other options
  5. In the “Application Document Requirements” section, check the box next to all materials which are required. If there are documents listed that you do not want to receive, click the blue “X” to the right of the document name to delete the document type. If a document type is not required and not deleted, it will be displayed to students as an “optional” document.  
  6. In the “Eligibility” field under “Student Group,” select 1L, 2L, or 3L. Do not select 1L ASJD, 2L ASJD, or 3L ASJD – all ASJD students are included in the 2L and 3L groups.

Once you have created your account and/or posted a job, it may need to be approved by an administrator. This can take up to 24 hours. If your account has not been approved within 24 hours or if you have an urgent need, please contact Nathan-c-davis@uiowa.edu.
