The Cornell Law Review  accepts the following submissions for consideration: articles, essays, book reviews, and symposium proposals.  A piece is generally considered an essay if it is between 10,000–18,000 words (inclusive of footnotes) and an article if it is longer than 18,000 words (inclusive of footnotes).

Electronic submission through Scholastica  is strongly preferred.  Submissions should be in Microsoft Word format.

We regret that hard copy submissions cannot be returned.

Please note that we will not accept submissions received via e-mail and that such submissions will not be returned.  Finally, please do not  submit your article through both ExpressO and  hard copy, as this will create two entries in our database.
