Chapman Law Review welcomes articles on a broad range of legal topics. We prefer full-length articles (at least 15,000 words), though shorter articles will be considered as well.
How to Submit: Submit your article through Scholastica. If that is not possible, email it to chapmanlawreview.submissions@gmail.com. Please include: Manuscript in Word or PDF, Resume/CV, and a short abstract.
What We Look For: Strong submissions demonstrate a clear thesis, compliance with The Bluebook citation format, and innovative or unique legal analysis.
Submission Timeline:
Fall Issue: Accepting submissions now on a rolling basis.
Spring Issue: Accepting submissions starting August 1.
In general, four to five articles are selected per issue.
Expedited Review: If you receive an offer from another journal, you may request expedited review via Scholastica. Include the name of the offering journal and the response deadline. While we will do our best to accommodate, expedited review does not guarantee a quicker or favorable decision.
Editing Process: Accepted articles will go through a collaborative and thorough editing process led by our exceptional editing team.
