Electronic Submissions:
Late February and early March is peak law review article submission
season: the editorial boards flip around that time, and the new boards
take over and immediately start looking for new articles to accept.
One issue that lots of law professors are curious about this year
(beyond [1]article length) is whether law review editors these days
look favorably or unfavorably on electronic submissions.
My sense is that the law review submission process is undergoing a
shift from paper to electronic submissions; in a few years, electronic
submissions will be the norm. The question is, are we there yet?
Blogfather Eugene [2]led the way at the VC with his use of [3]ExpressO
last year, but right now I think only a fairly small number of law
profs take advantage of that option.
I'd love to hear from any ougoing or potentially incoming Articles
Editors (or others knowledgeable about current practices) about what
you think of electronic submissions. If you were a law professor
submitting an article in a few weeks, would you submit an electronic
copy or a paper copy? Please offer your thoughts in the comment
section.
