Information for Authors

Substance

Volume 61 of the University of Miami Law Review will be published during the 2006-07 academic year. While the Law Review will consider all articles of interest to practitioners and academics, the Executive Board is particularly interested in publishing articles on the topics described in our Open Letter to Authors (June 2005).

Logistics

Authors seeking publication in the University of Miami Law Review can submit manuscripts in one of two ways. The preferred method is by email. Manuscripts can be sent electronically as an attachment in Microsoft Word format to this email address. Alternatively, authors may submit printed manuscripts by regular post to the address listed here, to the attention of the Senior Articles Editor. The Review assumes no responsibility for the return of any material.

Although the Review generally gives great deference to an author's work, the Review retains the right to determine the final published form of every article. As a rule, footnotes should conform to the 18th edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. (Major differences between the 17th and 18th editions of the Bluebook are documented here.) The Review also uses A Manual of Style (1986), prepared by the U.S. Government Printing Office, for additional guidelines on punctuation, capitalization, and compounding. For matters of style and usage, the Editors recommend William Strunk, Jr. & E.B. White, The Elements of Style (3d ed. 1979), and Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1979).

The author of each article grants the University of Miami Law Review the right to authorize the publication, reproduction, and distribution of the article in electronic, computerized retrieval systems, and similar forms, and to transfer such rights. Authors seeking to reprint articles published in the Review should read the information here.

The University of Miami Law Review is indexed in Contents of Current Legal Periodicals, Current Law Index, Index to Legal Periodicals, and Public Affairs Information Service, Inc., and is available on WESTLAW and LEXIS. The Review’s International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is 0041-9818.
