New York University Law Review Submissions

We accept unsolicited submissions through Scholastica. We no longer accept submissions by email or mail. ELJ has no minimum or maximum page requirement for submissions. However, we believe that most authors should be able to convey their arguments clearly and convincingly over 30-70 pages, and we encourage authors to tailor their contributions to this area. All articles submitted for online publication should not exceed 10,000 words. Plays around the 6,000-word mark are promoted. Online posts can take on a more folkloric tone, and ELJ encourages submissions in a clear voice. These messages can easily be noted at the bottom of the page, but ELJ prefers hyperlinks embedded in the text of the article. If you have received an offer to publish another journal and would like Social Change to speed up the review of your article, please send an email We will try to respond within one to two weeks.

Duration: The Law Review is committed to publishing concise and readable works. We strongly recommend submissions of less than 25,000 words, including footnotes (approximately 50 pages of review). For submissions that exceed this limit, length is a factor that militates significantly against acceptance of the manuscript. You can send items to Social Change for review via the online express delivery system: Scholastica. For authors who do not have access to Scholastica, please submit articles in Microsoft Word or PDF format and email them to [email protected]. To request an expedited review of an item, please do so via ExpressO. Note that due to the high volume of these requests and the fact that the acceptance of an article requires several readings by the faculty, revision of an article within a certain period of time may not be possible. The Harbinger is dedicated to providing timely, accessible and high-quality content related to law and social issues. We strive to showcase diverse and critical voices through rapid online publications. Our selection criteria are less rigid than those of traditional case law. This allows us to publish a range of content such as commentary, interviews, and stories, in addition to academic articles that are shorter than would be appropriate for the pages of a traditional legal overview. Each manuscript we receive is reviewed through a thorough review process that can take several weeks.

In the past, some editors have had to make a decision about an offer from another journal before we can complete our evaluation process. If you have received an offer to publish from another journal, please request an expedited review of your submission via your author submission account on Scholastica and our publishers will be notified of your deadline immediately. Please note, however, that due to our extensive review process, any expedited submission less than one week after the expedited review date may be disadvantaged. Expedited review does not give your item a competitive advantage in our process. All journals require submissions to conform to the latest edition of the Bluebook, the most despised citation system in the United States. You must submit your work as a Word document, Times New Roman with double line spacing (except for footnotes) 12 point font (10pt for footnotes). In all other areas, individual journals have different publication restrictions and clarifications, which are listed below: Institutions can create accounts to pay for their authors` submissions to Scholastica, so authors affiliated with law schools have the same payment experience as ExpressO. Scholastica is committed to allowing authors to submit articles independently of institutional support and will consider requests for fee waivers and other accommodations with [email protected].

While we do not have minimum or maximum page requirements for submissions, we prefer submissions of 30,000 words or less, including text and footnotes. The New York University Law Review can be filed as of August 1, 2022. The Moot Court Board manages the grade pool, but does not publish student grades. However, the Commission welcomes submissions in its casebook and its annually published proceedings, its online journal. CLOUT is the most widespread and widespread body of pleading issues in the country. Students who have written advocacy questions can submit them on the casebook website. Students who wish to submit written papers documenting new approaches to unresolved legal issues arising from advocacy activities can submit them via the Proceedings website. The Law Journal encourages students to submit articles online. However, it does not take into account student submissions of articles if the sole author is a current Young Women student (at New York University School of Law or elsewhere). We will consider articles co-authored by Young Women students if one of the co-authors is not a Young Women student. LRT accepts submissions from the third week of February to the third week of March and from the third week of July to the third week of August. We are not able to read articles at other times of the year.

Online content has a more familiar and accessible style than traditional print science. Online appreciates submissions with a more informal tone and/or a unique voice. Comments should be easily noted at the bottom of the page; A reasonable range is 5 to 10 footnotes per 800 words of text above the line. If possible, sources should include a hyperlink. Responses should be supported by embedded hyperlinks if necessary. Responses should not contain footnotes, except where absolutely necessary. Student articles. Social Change does not distinguish between student grades and articles. Instead, the scholarship you submit to Social Change must conform to the page to practice template.

“Page to practice” is a general term that refers to jurisprudence that seeks to eliminate inequalities, correct injustices, or consider the relationship between the law and the lived experiences of individuals. This does not mean that every article should contain discreet recommendations for lawyers. Instead, new theoretical approaches to persistent legal problems should include concrete policy proposals and advice for litigators and direct service providers. Social Change only takes into account articles of at least 6,000 words. It does not publish articles on international law unless they are directly applicable to national practice. In addition, Social Change only publishes case law. We do not publish research surveys, book reviews, or purely historical articles. The NYU Environmental Law Journal invites authors to submit papers that examine current issues of environmental law and policy at the international, national or local levels. We welcome topics that cut across other areas of law and particularly encourage articles that present creative approaches to environmental issues. ELJ hosts a variety of formats, including articles, essays, book reviews, and case commentaries. On average, ELJ publishes one student grade per print edition and we publish three issues per year.

We also encourage the publication of online content on the ELJ website. The adoption rate of Social Change articles is 4%, and we believe in supporting the unique arguments in each article we select. Unlike most legal overviews, any article accepted by Social Change requires the support of a representative cross-section of our members.
