The Columbia Undergraduate Law Review, a journal of undergraduate legal scholarship based at Columbia University in the City of New York, is accepting submissions for its Spring 2021 issue.
The deadline for submissions is January 3, 2021, by 11:59 PM EST, but we encourage you to submit before that deadline. In recognition of the various paths undergraduates may take to study law, we welcome submission of research articles, senior theses, and essays embracing a wide range of topics and viewpoints related to the field of law. Undergraduate students in any major, track, or class year should feel free to send us their work. Visit https://www.culawreview.org to view past journals or to read our mission statement.
Submissions should be double-spaced in Microsoft Word .doc or .docx format, follow Chicago style citations, and include endnotes and a Works Cited section. Although we will consider submissions of any length, the majority of published pieces range from 20 to 25 pages (excluding references). Longer papers should be shortened to fit this page length recommendation before submission. Papers with footnotes or parenthetical citations will be considered, but the author must independently convert them to endnotes before the editing process. In the document, please also include the following information:
-
Your name
-
Current email address and phone number
-
College/University and year of graduation
-
Title
-
250-word abstract
-
Short explanation of when and why paper was initially written
Please submit your article on our website under the “Submit” tab. Feel free to contact us at culreboard@columbia.edu with any questions or concerns.
