- Look through all of the papers during law school to find candidates for publication in a law review. Pick out several papers you have written for seminar classes and ask your adviser to read each one and help you pick one for publication. Proofread each paper for grammar, spelling and punctuation. Verify that the citations are in line with acceptable legal article publishing and change any formatting that is not in compliance with the law review to which you plan to submit. Write a cover letter and proofread it for errors.
- Identify law school-based law reviews and specialty legal journals that may be interested in publishing your article. Check andersonpublishing.com and click on the law schools link. Be sure to submit your article, keeping publishing deadlines in mind. Law school journals and student editors look for articles to fill pages in their reviews. When you decide you're ready to submit your article, remember to send it in early enough that law reviews have time to include it for publication.
- You can submit a law review article through a law review submission service such as ExpressO. Students can use this service by paying a fee to have articles submitted. Other submission services include LexOpus. This service is free and it submits your article to one law review journal at a time. If you use the Northern Kentucky University's Law Review Electronic Submissions service, you can narrow your options to law reviews that accept electronic submissions of articles. You're also able to email your article to the journals that accept electronic submission.
