Journal of Free Speech Law (peer-reviewed, exclusive submissions only, decision made within 14 days)

We seek articles dealing with speech, press, assembly, petition, or expression more broadly.

1. As with many other faculty-edited journals, we require exclusive submission. Any article you submit to us must not be under consideration elsewhere.
2. In exchange, we expect to give you an answer within two weeks.
3. Instead of a cover letter, please submit at most one page (and preferably just a paragraph or two) explaining how your article is novel. If there is a particular way of showing that (e.g., it’s the first article to discuss how case X and doctrine Y interact), please let us know.
4. Please submit articles single-spaced, in a proportionally spaced font.
5. Please make sure that the Introduction quickly and clearly explains the main claims you are making.
6. Please avoid extended background sections reciting familiar Supreme Court precedents or other well-known matters. We prefer articles that get right down to the novel material (if necessary, quickly explaining the necessary legal principles as they go).
