Thank you to all authors who submitted manuscripts during our Spring 2026 submission cycle! The Journal will re-open for the Fall 2026 submission cycle in August 2026 for submissions to the Spring and Summer issues, remaining open until both issues are filled.
Who Can Submit:
The Journal welcomes law review articles or essays on a variety of law and law-related topics from legal practitioners, law professors, and members of other professional communities. Manuscripts authored solely by J.D. candidates are not accepted unless written by a member of the Journal. Please anonymize your manuscript before submitting to the Journal.
Accepted Submission Types:
The Journal accepts law review articles, including articles written by non-law professors that are of professional quality. The Journal also accepts student notes or comments that are of professional quality and authored by Journal members. The Journal will not accept articles longer than 30,000 words (inclusive of footnotes), with a strong preference for articles shorter than 25,000 words (inclusive of footnotes). Essays are strongly encouraged to be less than 15,000 words (inclusive of footnotes).
The Journal does not accept book or article reviews or responses. To ensure a fair and impartial review process, the Journal does not perform expedited reviews. Cover letters will not be reviewed. CVs or resumes will not be reviewed during the review process as the Journal only conducts blind reviews.
The first page of all submissions should include a short (approximately 250 words) abstract that is distinct from the article’s first paragraph and summarizes the article’s main findings. In the Fall 2026 submission cycle, all citations will be required to substantially conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (22nd ed. 2025).
If your manuscript is accepted, please be prepared to provide copies of any sources that were difficult to locate or access either via email or file drive. If any form of Artificial Intelligence was used to write or source an article, please confirm that no hallucinated sources were included in the final manuscript.
Please feel free to email the Executive Articles Editor with any questions!
