Submissions
CLR thanks you for your interest in publishing with us. Please see the links to department-specific submission pages below:
Articles, Essays, and Book Reviews are published in CLR’s print edition and generally written by law professors, legal academics, and/or practicing attorneys. The Articles Department runs submission cycles for these pieces at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.
Notes are papers written exclusively by Berkeley Law JD/concurrent-JD students and recent Berkeley Law JD/concurrent-JD graduates. They appear in CLR’s print edition. The Notes Department runs submission cycles for these pieces twice-yearly in March and September.
Shorter-Form Articles, Essays, Responses, Comments, Blogs, and other written content can be published to CLR Online, the journal’s web edition. The Online Department accepts submissions for these pieces on a rolling basis from law professors, legal academics, practicing attorneys, and law students.
Symposium pieces are articles and essays that accompany California Law Review’s academic conferences. They are selected by the Symposium Department and published in the print edition. These pieces generally come from law professors, legal academics, and/or practicing attorneys.
Podcast and Multimedia—CLR’s Technology Department records podcast supplements to select print edition and CLR Online pieces, and manages standalone podcast and multimedia projects for CLR Online.
