Manuscript Editing for University of Louisville Law Review Journal Articles
Founded in 1961, the University of Louisville Law Review is the principal publication of the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law. It is devoted to developing the law, evaluating legal institutions, and analyzing issues of law and public policy. Managed exclusively by students, it appears three times a year with student notes and articles by nationally and globally recognized experts. It was formerly the Journal of Family Law and later the Brandeis Law Journal.
A complete submission pairs the manuscript with a CV or resume, and a cover letter is appreciated. Citations follow the most recent edition of The Bluebook and appear in footnotes. Manuscripts are preferably single-spaced with 1.5-inch margins, and double-spaced with 1-inch margins is acceptable. Under the author agreement, the author keeps copyright and grants a one-year exclusive license after publication. Our law review editing checks every citation against the current Bluebook and sets the preferred margins. Submissions go through Scholastica.
