Submission Form

**The Columbia Law Review will not be reviewing articles or essays submitted for print publication consideration after April 23th, 2013. We will begin reviewing manuscripts again on August 1st. Please understand that we cannot honor requests for expedited review until August.

 

Any such article or essay submitted after April 23, 2013 may require re-submission, as our submission system will be undergoing maintenance from May-July.  Please check back with this website in late July for instructions on how to submit for 2014 publication consideration.

 

Submissions for online publication by Columbia Law Review Sidebar will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis.  We encourage you to submit essays for online publication consideration through out the year.**

 

Submit only one double-spaced copy of your manuscript. We greatly prefer submissions in Microsoft Word format. Please submit your work electronically via the form below. Please note that we do not accept regular submissions by email, disk, or facsimile.

 

Text and citations should conform to A Uniform System of Citation (19th ed. 2010) (“The Bluebook”). Footnotes are strongly preferred over endnotes.

 

If you submit your piece via mail, enclose a cover letter that references the name of your manuscript, and provides your address, telephone number, and email address.

 

Important Note: All submissions will only be read by one committee. Please indicate whether you would like your submission to be considered as an Article, as an Essay, as an “Article or Essay,” or for Sidebar. Submissions categorized as “Article or Essay” will be assigned a category by the Executive Editors and may receive slower consideration. Please refer to the Submission Instructions page for a discussion of the distinction between Articles and Essays.
