As the law review submission season has begun (I've already received a rejection on an article), I've updated the Information for Submitting to Online Law Review Companions. The latest version is here and covers only the top 20 main law reviews that receive shorter pieces like essays, book reviews, etc. I'll expand the list's coverage as I have time.
The materials are modeled after the chart for law review article submissions prepared by Professor Allen Rostron and Professor Nancy Levit at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Law.
This chart is for submissions to online companions of main law reviews and journals at the top 20 schools (as determined by the most recent US News overall ranking, not because that system merits endorsement, but because it is convenient). Specifically, the chart derives from the journals’ websites the following information:
- Name of the online journal
- Word count limitation, if any
- Subject matter limitations, if any
- Preferred essay/commentary/review submission method
- Whether articles from online journal are included in HeinOnline’s Law Journal Library
- Other information of possible interest to authors.
The online companions accept a variety of different shorter pieces.
For further information concerning the rankings of the journals and their associated law schools, please consult the source of your choosing. Some colleagues find the Washington & Lee law review rankings website helpful. That site is here.
