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

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.
