Sending my paper to be published in Law Reviews
Hi all!
I'm a law student looking to publish my paper in law reviews. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for this process. Are there any journals in particular where other students have successfully placed papers? Are there any journals that don't automatically discount you because you're a student? What have been your experiences?
Do any current law review/specialty journal editors have any advice/suggestions?

Re: Sending my paper to be published in Law Reviews
I submitted my article broadly through ExpressO. The site was great about letting you know if a journal did not publish student works. You pay per submission. You can avoid paying if you choose to submit through email directly to the email, but it was easier to go through ExpressO and keep track using that platform.
I submitted to about 20 journals. I received and accepted 1 offer. My advice would be to target the general journals, but also make sure to target smaller niche journals that are relevant to your topic. Good luck!

How do you submit generally to law reviews? it seemed to automatically ask me to narrow my topic before I was able to choose themOneShot2009 wrote:I submitted my article broadly through ExpressO.

Re: Sending my paper to be published in Law Reviews
I found a lot of success sending individual emails and keeping track, myself, in a spreadsheet. It was certainly time consuming, but paid off. I succeeded in tt and ttt law reviews and Tier 1 secondary journals. Total maybe 5 publication offers per piece, give or take.geedubslaw222 wrote:How do you submit generally to law reviews? it seemed to automatically ask me to narrow my topic before I was able to choose themOneShot2009 wrote:I submitted my article broadly through ExpressO.

What is the general turnaround time for journals in getting back to you?objctnyrhnr wrote:I found a lot of success sending individual emails and keeping track, myself, in a spreadsheet.

Re: Sending my paper to be published in Law Reviews
A week, give or take. I think it’s likely that some never did. Some will email you to thank you then give you a timeline.geedubslaw222 wrote:What is the general turnaround time for journals in getting back to you?objctnyrhnr wrote:I found a lot of success sending individual emails and keeping track, myself, in a spreadsheet.

Re: Sending my paper to be published in Law Reviews
No, that’ll happen. You should be submitting to enough journals that one lack of response doesn’t “concern” you.
