With the Exclusive Submission Track for Issue 3 of Volume 81 concluding today, the University of Miami Law Review is pleased to announce that the General Submission Track is now open.
The University of Miami Law Review is now accepting general submissions for Issue 3 of Volume 81, to be published in the Spring of 2027.
Authors may submit their manuscript via Scholastica or directly to our Senior Articles Editor, Megan Schutzen, at UMLRSeniorArticlesEditor@law.miami.edu.
The University of Miami Law Review welcomes submissions of both articles and essays that represent the author's original work. While we do not adhere to a strict word limit, preference will be given to articles under 30,000 words and essays under 12,000 words, including footnotes. We will continue to consider articles exceeding 30,000 words when their length is warranted.
All submissions should conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (22d ed. 2025). In general, the University of Miami Law Review follows The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style (2d ed. 2006) for grammar, style, and usage. We prefer submissions in Microsoft Word format but will also accept PDF submissions.
Submissions should be in Times New Roman, no smaller than 12-point font, should utilize footnotes rather than endnotes, and should include numbered pages. All submissions must include: (1) a cover letter, (2) a brief abstract, (3) a copy of the manuscript, and (4) the author's most recent résumé or curriculum vitae (CV).
We look forward to reviewing your submissions!
