Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

The Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review publishes four issues per year. One issue is a symposium composed of articles from pre-selected authors. For at least one issue per year, we accept submissions on any topic received during the course of the year. We welcome submissions and symposium proposals from judges, professors, practitioners, and law clerks. We do not, however, consider work by current law students, other than Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review editors and staff.

Manuscript Submissions:
Articles, essays, and book reviews from law professors, judges, judicial clerks, and practitioners are welcome. While we will review submissions of any length, we prefer articles under 30,000 words (including footnotes). All citations must conform with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (22th ed.).

Format:
We strongly prefer electronic submissions in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format.

All submissions must include a cover letter, which should prominently feature the following:

• The title of the manuscript
• An e-mail address (we will not acknowledge receipt without an e-mail address)
• A mailing address
• A daytime telephone number
• A word count for the manuscript (including footnotes)
• A separate word count for the footnotes

In addition, submissions should include:

• A brief abstract (under 250 words) on a separate page
• A copy of the manuscript
