Scholarship may be submitted to journals for publication via a myriad of methods ranging from third-party services like Scholastica, to a publisher's website, to simple email.
Each year Allen Rostron and Nancy Levit of UMKC School of Law publish "Information for Submitting Articles to Law Reviews & Journals". This list covers preferred submission method, formatting requirements, and contact information for 196 law journals.
The predominant tool for evaluating law journals is the Law Journal Rankings published by the Washington & Lee School of Law Library. The rankings published in 2021 compare 400 U.S. law journals and 100 international journals based on citation data over a five-year survey period, 2016-2020. Users may rank all journals, journals in specified subject areas, or a custom list of journals. Custom lists are especially helpful for placement decision-making. Detailed instructions for using the Law Journal Rankings website are linked below.
