Subject Law Reviews

JoanShear | 11 July, 2007 14:15

Question: Where can I get a list of law reviews that publish articles on a particular subject? I’m trying to figure out where to submit my article.

Answer: Eugene M. Wypyski’s Legal periodicals in English contains a Subject Index in addition to its Author and Geographic Indexes. The set contains information about the journals, but once journals are identified the patron should get information about where to submit the manuscript and in what form, from their mastheads. Another book that might have some limited relevance is Author's guide to journals in law, criminal justice, & criminology, edited by Roy M. Mersky, Robert C. Berring, James K. McCue. While this book provides much more detailed information about the submission process, its age (copyright 1979) makes much of it out of date. For example, the only B.C. journal listed is the B.C. Industrial and Commercial Law Review (the old name of the B.C. L. Rev.)
