Submission Guidelines
Section Review is a biannual journal. Each section is encouraged to submit up to three articles per issue (or possibly more, with the editor’s approval). Articles must be under 2,500 words and authors are encouraged to refrain from heavy citations or discursive notes, as all notations run as endnotes in this publication. Submissions are made directly to the publications liaison/editor of each section council or division. Section editors will have the relevant deadlines.
Lawyers Journal
is a monthly newspaper (except in July and December). Members are invited to submit pieces under 1,000 words to their section editor. Submissions are contingent upon space, and it’s ideal to have some advance notice of a submission. For recurring features, such as Mind Your Own Business, proposals for the feature can be made through the section editor to the editor.
The
Massachusetts Law Review is a quarterly scholarly journal containing comprehensive analyses of Massachusetts law and commentary on groundbreaking cases and legislation. Articles are generally around 7,000 words, though they may be shorter or longer as appropriate. Authors may either submit proposals or full articles to the editorial board by sending them to Periodicals Manager Bill Archambeault at
[e-mail barch]. Proposals are circulated and discussed at the monthly editorial meeting, and authors will be notified of the board’s interest. There is no guarantee of publication of a final article based on the proposal alone, even if encouragement is given. When a full article is submitted, it will be reviewed by the entire board and voted on for inclusion in an upcoming issue.
