Call for Submissions: Maryland Law Review Online

Maryland Law Review Online is currently accepting submissions for the 2026–2027 cycle.

Maryland Law Review Online is the online companion to Maryland Law Review. We publish two issues: Fall and Spring. Established in 2008, MLRO is intended to quickly disseminate a variety of content, including commentary on important court decisions, contemporary legal and policy issues, and legislative developments. While not the sole focus of MLRO, we encourage submissions that touch on legal issues in Maryland and the Fourth Circuit. Maryland Law Review Online expands the scope of the journal’s print publication and features response articles, book reviews, practical insights, student pieces, essays, as well as unique and accessible law review articles. Maryland Law Review Online publishes articles that are 10,000 words or less (including footnotes), but longer pieces may be considered in appropriate cases.

Please submit your manuscript using Scholastica for consideration. We will also consider manuscripts received via email at mdlr01@law.umaryland.edu. If you submitted a manuscript prior to February 1, 2026 through Scholastica, we encourage you to resubmit via email if you are still interested in publishing with MLRO. Please reach out to the Senior Online Articles Editor, Elliott LaGorce (jelagorce@umaryland.edu), should you have any questions or concerns.

Best,
