• Our authors will be assigned to one of three rounds review, depending on their issue, and go through the review process detailed below.
• The editing process for candidates takes about six weeks – candidates review the footnotes and the citations, making sure they are in accordance with the Bluebook.
• Editors then review Above the Line (ATL) material and the candidates’ work, which takes about another month.
• The Executive Editor reviews the author’s edits, makes any appropriate changes, and sends the article to be formatted. After formatting, the author goes back to the author for 48-hour edits
• After 48-hour edits, the Editor in Chief does his final review. At this point, there won’t be any substantive changes to the article – just grammatical edits, etc.
