Spring 2011 Law Review Article Submission Guide

Nancy Levit (UMKC) & Allen Rostron (UMKC) have updated their incredibly useful document, which contains two charts for the Spring 2011 submission season covering 202 law reviews.

The first chart (pp. 1-72) contains information gathered from the journals’ websites on:

• Methods for submitting an article (such as by e-mail, ExpressO, or regular mail)
• Any special formatting requirements
• How to request an expedited review
• How to withdraw an article after it has been accepted for publication elsewhere

The second chart (pp. 73-79) contains the ranking of the law reviews and their schools under six measures:

• U.S. News: Overall Rank
• U.S. News: Peer Reputation Rating
• U.S. News: Judge/Lawyer Reputation Rating
• Washington & Lee Citation Ranking
• Washington & Lee Impact Factor
• Washington & Lee Combined Rating

They also have posted a list of links to the submissions information on each law journal’s website.
