LNAT Markers
Professor James Goudkamp and Professor Rebecca Williams (Law Admissions Coordinators) are looking for 40+ markers to help with LNAT essay marking in the latter half of October 2024. The work is available to graduate research students, and stipendiary lecturers and junior researchers in Law.
Markers will work with a set of marking criteria and will be given training regarding how to evaluate LNAT essays and how to use the relevant software. Training is compulsory for any marker who has not previously completed the ‘No More Marking’ training. Previous markers will not need to attend the online Q&A session, but will need to watch the recording as a refresher. Both training and marking are done entirely online and for the marking process itself markers can log-in and out of the system when it suits them.
Duration and hours
The marking work is measured by marking load. Each marker will be expected to complete 12 workpackets. Each workpacket comprises 20 essay comparisons and it is expected that each workpacket will take one hour to complete. Therefore, the expected total time commitment is 12 hours, which will be spread over 6 days. Payment will be made upon submission of an approved timesheet.
Start date: The training video will be provided with a supporting Q&A session held online at 1pm on Monday 21 October 2024 (via MS Teams). If you have previously marked LNAT essays using No More Marking software you do not need to attend the online Q&A session, but will need to watch the recording as a refresher. If you cannot attend at this time, please contact Emma White (emma.white2@law.ox.ac.uk).
Essays are expected to be available for marking at the earliest on Thursday 24 October at 5pm and all marking must be completed by 9am on Monday 28 October 2024. Attention is drawn to the tight turnaround time at a busy time of the academic year. It is imperative that markers have sufficient time to complete the task, as all marking must be completed by the deadline to enable the Admissions process to proceed.
Date by which the work must be completed: 9:00am 28 October 2024
Reporting
Markers will report to the Law Admissions Coordinators.
Requirements
• A general understanding of the field of law is essential.
• Good IT skills are essential.
Eligibility
This position is open to graduate research students, and stipendiary lecturers and junior researchers in Law., and the hours are in line with the restrictions on working hours for students.
We would like to highlight that although it is technically possible to be both a Faculty and a College LNAT marker, marking for both the Faculty and a College is not recommended in view of the workload involved.
It is expected that the work will be undertaken in the UK.

This work will be paid at Grade 5.1, at the rate of £15.94 per hour plus holiday pay (which will be paid in the month in which it is accrued).
Timesheets must be completed in hours; markers will only be permitted to claim one hour per workpacket completed + 1 hour training.
