Forum on the Law Review Selection Process

Over the next couple of weeks, the law journal submission season will enter full swing. Because there are only a limited number of publication slots at elite law journals—and there is a perception, if not a reality, that a strong placement affects pay, promotion, and lateral offers—this positional competition creates severe angst among law professors that often ends in disappointment.

To help elucidate the inner-workings of this process, the ELS Blog will be hosting a forum today and tomorrow (August 14-15) on a recent empirical study by Jason Nance and Dylan Steinberg, “The Law Review Article Selection Process: Results from a National Study.”  The authors are 2006 graduates of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where they served as Articles Editors on the University of Pennsylvania Law Review.  Both authors are currently serving as clerks in the federal judiciary.

This forum will also include commentary on the Nance-Steinberg study by Benjamin Barton (Tennessee Law), Christine Hurt (Illinois Law and The Conglomerate), Ahmed Taha (Wake Forest Law), and our own Chris Zorn. I will begin the forum with a short summary of the Nance-Steinberg study.

There are many types of legal documents, letters etc that are typed every day. Should legal typing be done only by a specialist? Well not necessarily if you are good at words and typing. But remember that in a legal document every word matters and one cannot afford to make mistakes. So it is better to get it done from a legal typist or a professional transcription specialist.
