Скачать или смотреть Navigating the Winter/Spring 2026 Law Review Submission Cycle

In this brief video, I describe fifteen strategies for a successful law review submission cycle, current as of January 2026, that I have developed in the course of submitting more than 40 articles to law reviews during the past two decades.

The video summarizes a detailed 36-page law review submissions guide I have created for my own colleagues and students over the past few years, which you can now download for $10: https://legal-academic-resources.sell...

The Guide includes:
In-depth information about the fifteen strategies described in the video, with particular attention to timing of submissions, the expedite process, and key components of the submission including the abstract, table of contents, introduction, and cover letter;
A detailed redline of the abstract and introduction to my article "Civil Rights Liability for Bad Hiring" designed to help other authors with the abstracts and introductions for their articles;
Copies of the cover letters I submitted with four recent articles that were published in the Georgetown Law Journal, Cornell Law Review, and Minnesota Law Review (2x)
