Student Journals: Journal Email and Distribution Lists

Each journal has a stand alone berkeley.edu email address:

<your journal acronym>@berkeley.edu: (bMail) this is a regular email account; emails are in an in-box and can be saved and managed for future reference in an ongoing journal email account.

You can also set up any number of email distribution lists:

<whatever you'd like>@law.berkeley.edu  (bConnected List) when a message is sent to this address, it is simply forwarded to a list of defined members;  messages are not saved to an email account.   You can use this to send out messages to your journal membership, or various sub-groups, such as submissions, editorial board members, etc.

See below for more detail on each...

Special Purpose Accounts, or SPAs, are CalNet IDs that can be shared by multiple users for collaborative purposes. They are often used to set up journal email accounts and shared drives.

Each Journal has a SPA account, with an associated email address and shared drive.

EIC's (and ME's if requested) are given access to the SPA account as Direct Members, and have administrative access to the SPA account (which includes the journal email address, shared drive, calendar)  and allows them to delegate access to journal members.

Whereas Direct Members have access to the SPA account as a whole, the delegated access is assigned on individual basis (ie. access to the journal email or shared drive is delegated separately). 

Each journal has an email address <JOURNAL>@berkeley.edu.   This is part of a 'Special Purpose Account (SPA)', which can be shared by multiple users for collaborative or group purposes. 

As DIRECT SPA Members, EICs can delegate access to this email account to any number of journal members, who can then log on to the account to access the email.

FOR INFORMATION on logging in to a SPA account, see these directions.

Journals also have email distribution lists <JOURNAL>@law.berkeley.edu also hosted on bConnected.

Messages sent to these addresses are distributed or forwarded to a defined group of members, include specific editors, or journal membership depending upon your needs, such as for article submissions  (such as BJIL-Submissions@law.berkeley.edu).

EIC's can delegate which members should be included in the distribution by emailing journals@law.berkeley.edu with the email addresses of  journal members to be added to the list.
