Submissions for the Volume 111 print edition of the Minnesota Law Review will close on Friday, March 20th at 12:30pm (Central Time). Please submit all work via Scholastica or email at mnlawrev@umn.edu.
Minnesota Law Review generally accepts articles within a word count range of 20,000 to 30,000 words, including footnotes. An ideal article is 20,000 to 25,000 words. We also consider shorter essays between 12,000 and 17,500 words, though this is a flexible guideline. We do not accept book reviews or student submissions.
If a manuscript receives an offer of publication from another journal before we have reached a decision, we encourage authors to request expedited review of their submission through their account on Scholastica. Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, we cannot guarantee expedited review, but we strive to honor all requests for expedited consideration.
We appreciate your interest and are happy to answer any questions at mnlawrev@umn.edu.
