A Call for Symposia
Light Edit Policy
The Law Review follows a light edit policy. After an article is accepted, we discuss the scope of editorial input that the author desires. Even if an author does not request a light edit, our editors presume that the author’s diction and syntax have been carefully chosen. Accordingly, we make stylistic changes only when such changes are strictly necessary to enhance clarity or grace. This policy reflects our belief that legal scholarship should express its author’s voice, not ours.
Citation and Style Guidelines
Manuscripts should conform to the Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition) and to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (19th edition).
Submission Methods
There are three ways to submit a manuscript to the Law Review:
The Law Review strongly prefers that authors submit manuscripts electronically via ExpressO.
