Article Submissions
Submissions for Volume XVII, Issue 1, are now OPEN.
The Northeastern University Law Review is now open for submissions at this time. We are now accepting submissions for Volume 17, Issue 1.
Please see the following submission guidelines:
Submissions should be full papers of about 15,000-30,000 words in length (including footnotes).
Please include a CV and cover letter that includes your name, organization, contact information, and a brief biography.
NULR is especially interested in papers and authors that represent a diverse range of perspectives, identities, disciplines, and voices.
Selections will be made in Winter/Spring 2024, and the editing process is scheduled to begin in Summer 2024. Publication is slated for January 2025.
If you are interested in working with Northeastern University Law Review further, Extra Legal and the Online Forum are accepting submissions. Please see below to learn more about these programs!
Extra Legal Submissions
If you are interested in writing an Extra Legal article, please fill out the proposal form linked below and send it as an attachment to extralegal.nulr@northeastern.edu. Feel free to contact the Extra Legal Editors at the same email address with any questions or to request more information.
Submissions for Extra Legal should be approximately 2,000 words in length, and not to exceed 5,000 words. The format for Extra Legal pieces is less formal than a note in a print law review. Footnotes are required when citing another's work, but the author's voice and opinions should come through. All articles will undergo a peer review process similar to a print article.
Online Forum Submissions
Submissions for the Online Forum can be as short as 250 words. Submissions are approved and reviewed by NULR editors before being posted. The blog posts should pertain to legal issues affecting all areas of our society, with the goal of providing contemporary viewpoints on pressing legal matters currently in the spotlight.
We accept content submissions from all areas of our legal environment. You may be a student or professor from any school, practitioner, or generally interested party with a working knowledge of the legal system. If you are interested in submitting a blog post, please email the Online Forum at forum.nulr@northeastern.edu or fill out the contact form here.
