We try to make decisions within a month to six weeks of submission.  The entire editorial board reviews and comments on each article we receive.  This makes expedited review possible, but sometimes the board can’t complete a full review in a short time frame.  We aim to meet an author’s needs for expedited review as quickly and completely as possible.

One of the goals of switching the Journal to e-publication is to shorten the turnaround time between acceptance and publication.  So, while we can’t promise a set time for publication, we, like you, want the article to be available to our readers as soon as possible.

Click here for our page on resources and advice for scholars, where you’ll find more information on the mentoring programs available through the Legal Writing Institute.  Plus, once an article is accepted for publication, it goes through an intensive substantive review by one or more editorial board members and a technical review by several legal writing professors who volunteer as assistant editors.  This isn’t a mentoring program per se, but the review process is certainly a way for you to seek guidance from the editorial board about how to make your article as strong as possible.

We view LRW scholarship as an ongoing discussion.  We encourage anybody who’s interested in LRW topics to listen to all the voices in that conversation.
