Law Review Submissions, Final August Version
posted by Dave Hoffman
Continuing Co-Op’s tradition of law review related public service, I thought I’d open up a space for law review editors to provide some information to folks thinking of submitting in the next “cycle”. (Kaimi has a post up for law reviews that want off-cycle submisssions).
[Update: I started this thread back in June. It is now August, and I assume the window of submissions is fully open. Editors should feel free to use the comment thread to make any submissions related announcements they deem relevant and useful.]

Yale is reading articles all summer, and will begin making publication offers again in August. We’ll be taking at least 6-8 more articles.
High-quality scholarship is more important than filling any particular quota.
Arizona Law Review Editor - June 19, 2006 at 9:24 pm
The Arizona Law Review will begin reading submissions and making offers again in mid-August. We still have room for 3-4 articles next year.
We are not looking for articles on any particular subject. Instead, no matter the topic, we seek articles that are interesting, timely, and well written.

Harvard will be looking at articles all summer, although our turnaround will be faster starting August 14. We have room for several more articles (at least 5, depending on their length). We are not looking for articles in particular topic areas.
Editor-in-Chief, Cardozo Law Review - June 20, 2006 at 9:51 am
The Cardozo Law Review considers a limited number of high-quality submissions during the summer months and begins reviewing full-time in mid-August.
The Cardozo Law Review has developed a reputation for publishing a wide variety of more esoteric and theoretical pieces and will continue to be on the lookout for those. We’d like to balance this by publishing a few empirical pieces, a relative rarity in legal academia.
We will be accepting approximately 6-9 articles in the next cycle.
Minn Articles Editor - June 22, 2006 at 4:23 pm
Minnesota Law Review is reviewing articles all summer, though we our turn-around will be faster starting in August. We have space for 4-6 articles.
We have no criteria regarding the subject matter of the articles. Strong writing and insightful, compelling scholarship will go a long way with us.

Duke Law Journal is reviewing articles throughout the summer and accepting electronic submissions until August 1. We have room for four or so articles, depending on length. All topics are welcome. We are also working on a call for papers for our Administrative Law Conference, which will be held in early 2007.
Finally, we’re happy to report that after a stretch of behind-schedule publication, we will be on time for Volume 56.
Hastings Law Journal - July 17, 2006 at 11:23 pm
The Hastings Law Journal is reviewing submissions throughout the summer and will begin making publication decisions in the second week of August.

Query whether a submission should be accompanied by the author’s c.v. If so, why?

Otherwise the editors would have to read all the submissions. That’d suck.
