A Different Kind of Law Review Competition:

Over at [1]Prawsflawg, Kaimi and several commenters (including myself)
are discussing the different strategies top journals use to try to win
the competition for the best law review articles. Some journals give
authors very tight deadlines to try to force authors to accept; others
don't. The different practices among different journals raise lots of
interesting normative and tactical questions.
What we really need is for an enterprising person to conduct a
survey of the top 50 journals to find out their typical practices. How
long does an author typically have to decide on an offer? Are
extensions granted? How long does an author have to to decide on an
offer granted following expedited review? If anyone wants to do this,
let me know -- I would be happy to post the results here at the VC.
