Submission Process

UPDATE 11/17/2009: The Texas Law Review has filled Volume 88 and thus is no longer reviewing submissions or responding to expedite requests.  We will resume submission review in late February of 2010.  Until then, we will make no publication decisions on articles currently under submission or submitted after this announcement.  We will, however, remove all expedited submissions and assume that these articles will be published elsewhere.  We appreciate your interest in publishing with the Texas Law Review.

The Texas Law Review welcomes submissions from judges, academics, and practicing lawyers. The Texas Law Review does not accept submissions from current law students.

We accept both hard copy submissions and submissions via ExpressO. Hard copy submissions should be addressed to:
Texas Law Review
Articles Editor
727 E. Dean Keeton
Austin, TX 78705

For more information, you may contact us by telephone at 512-232-1280 or by fax at 512-471-3282.

Article Length

The Texas Law Review is committed to publishing the best legal scholarship. In connection with this goal, the Texas Law Review, along with journals at Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Michigan, Stanford, U. Penn., Virginia, and Yale, endorses the statement reproduced in the right-hand column. We emphasize, however, that we will not be imposing an absolute cap on the length of articles at this time. Rather, we are committed to the nondiscriminatory review of articles—there is no absolute maximum or absolute minimum length necessary for review or publication by the Texas Law Review. We believe quality legal scholarship can be found in both long and short articles, and our past practice bears this out. We endorse this statement as a step toward removing the perception that the Texas Law Review actively seeks out and publishes only long articles.
