In my world, typically you present your paper at a conference, and if you're lucky you get good feedback from the chair or discussants on your panel on how to improve it. Also, you have your knowledgeable and/or trusted colleagues look over it and give you feedback. Then, you submit to one journal at a time and wait and wait.
Aside from presenting at a legal conference--I won't be able to do that prior to spring--are there ways to get feedback on your work prior to submitting it? I have served on discussion panels with some local law professors (generally I invite them), but I don't know them on a personal level and I don't want to be intrusive.
If anyone could educate me a bit on the norms surrounding pre-submission feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
