The Texas A&M Law Review is currently accepting symposium proposal submissions for the 2026–2027 academic year. Proposal submissions will be continuously accepted, with preference given to proposals submitted on or before May 15, 2026.
We request proposals between 2–3 pages with the following information:
- A detailed description of the symposium topic (including background information, timeliness and relevance, and how the topic contributes to legal scholarship)
- A description of the proposed format (including the structure of panels and speakers for a live event);
- A list of potential speakers and panelists (those confirmed and anticipated);
- A list of potential authors who could write articles and/or commentaries for the symposium issue;
- Any available funding sources (please note that additional funding is not required, but it is encouraged as it helps offset the Texas A&M Law Review’s costs); and
- Contact information for proposed symposium organizers (those who will work directly with the Texas A&M Law Review Board).
If the Texas A&M Law Review moves forward with hosting a symposium, an accompanying issue of the Texas A&M Law Review will be dedicated to the publication of symposium pieces. We anticipate publishing seven to nine articles and/or commentaries in the symposium issue.
In our most recent symposium issue, we have published the work of Jack Balkin, Sir Philip Bobbitt, Nelson Tebbe, and John Fabian Witt. In our forthcoming symposium issue, we look forward to publishing the work of Alison LaCroix, Richard Primus, Neil Siegel, Judith Resnik, Roderick Hills, Jr., and Lawrence Solum—among others. We would love to add you to those ranks as well!
Please send proposal submissions and direct any questions to our Symposia Editor, Hema Patel, at symposia.editor@lawreview.law.tamu.edu. We appreciate your interest and look forward to reviewing your proposals!
