Georgia Criminal Law Review

Submissions

Making a Submission

The Georgia Criminal Law Review invites submissions of unsolicited articles, notes, comments, and works of legal scholarship by scholars, judges, researchers, and practicing attorneys on issues relevant to criminal law, criminal procedure, and criminal legal theory. Articles may include, but are not limited to, issues surrounding statutory interpretation, legislative amendments to current criminal laws, criminal justice reform, incarceration, sentencing, juvenile justice, domestic violence, and the death penalty. This is a field of law that is in a state of perpetual change, and we invite submissions that take a historical view, examine case law, and present solutions to existing problems in our criminal justice system. To highlight as many of our own students as possible, submissions from current students receive priority for publication in each issue. However, we will accept and consider submissions from students at other law schools.

Publication Frequency

The Georgia Criminal Law Review publishes print editions annually. Two issues are published each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. The Journal's fall publication process begins in August, and the spring publication process begins in December. .

Article Submission

Although the Journal accepts submissions throughout the year, publication offers are usually made at the beginning of each semester's publication process. The Journal encourages authors to keep this in mind when submitting articles for publication in a particular edition. The preferred method for submissions is via Scholastica or by email to [email protected]. Acceptance notifications will typically be made via email. Expedited Reviews are conducted upon the author's request.

Citations should follow The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (22nd ed. 2020).
