Manuscript Editing for The University of Memphis Law Review Journal Articles
The University of Memphis Law Review is a student-run journal of legal scholarship at the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. It publishes articles by professors, judges, and practitioners from around the country, four times a year in volumes of about 750 pages. Student editors make all editorial decisions with a faculty advisory, and the journal aims to serve as a research tool for practicing lawyers and students.
The Law Review considers articles, essays, and symposium proposals, and book reviews on rare occasion. Citations and notation follow The Bluebook, 22nd edition, in footnotes. Style follows The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition. Review is rolling, and three Editorial Staff members generally read each work. Microsoft Word is encouraged, and all formats are accepted. Our law review editing applies both manuals and checks each footnote against the 22nd edition. Submissions go through Scholastica, which is strongly encouraged, or by email.
