RA given credit on published articles Forum

If you are an RA and were given credit for articles you helped get published, does this go anywhere on your resume?

Are you a named author? (I'm not talking about "Thanks to these poor schmucks who slaved away" in a footnote.)

If Y: Put it on resume with full cite (including your professor's name with yours)
If N: Put on resume that you were an RA, but do not put that you were published; because you weren't.

In a LR article, im just in a footnote, and i know that doesnt go anywhere. But what i'm talking about is a monthly column in a law journal. I help write/edit them, and at the end of each column I am mentioned as assisting in publication of the column. I don't think this means I am published or an author, I guess i can just mention it in the description of my RA position. I guess this was a dumb question, haha.

put publication assistant and perhaps a few words on the duties.

I think mentioning your role as RA in the firm's biography is sufficient. I see some attorneys mention the book written by their professors .... etc.

do you think this is excessive and looks like the student /graduate is trying to take credit?

I almost shot milk from my nose laughing when I read this. /s/ a poor schmuck.

Only put it if its something that was actually published (basically by a law review or other school journal) AND you share authorship with the professor in the publication, e.g. David Smith & Frank Jackson, This Article Totally Blows, 45 Harv. L. Rev. 1900 (2012).

Yes. Put the cite to it under the title, e.g., "RA for Prof. Dude. Conducted research for Prof. Dude's article, Title, Cite."
