Nancy Levit (UMKC) & Allen Rostron (UMKC) have updated their incredibly useful document, which contains two charts for the Fall 2024 submission season covering the 196 main journals of each law school.
The following are two charts useful for the law review/journal article submission process. The first chart contains information gathered from the journals’ websites about the following topics:
- Methods for submitting an article (such as by e-mail, Scholastica, or regular mail);
- Any special formatting requirements;
- How to request an expedited review; and
- How to withdraw an article after it has been accepted for publication elsewhere.
The second chart contains information about rankings of the journals and the law schools associated with them. The first three columns are the overall ranking, academic/peer assessment score, and lawyer/judge assessment score for each school from the most recent U.S. News & World Report rankings. The other columns are data about journals from Washington & Lee’s law review ranking website, which covers 400 law journals, including online and specialized journals. The “citation ranking” is the total number of citations to the journal from 2019 to 2023. The “impact factor” is the number of citations per article per year. The “combined rating” is a weighted combination of the citations and impact factor data.
