The Wake Forest Law Review (Bluebook abbreviation: Wake Forest L. Rev.) is a law journal edited and published by students at Wake Forest University School of Law.

About the Wake Forest Law Review
Established in 1965 as the Intramural Law Review of Wake Forest College, the journal publishes five issues and sponsors two symposiums annually. The Fall Symposium changes topics yearly. For over twenty years, the Spring Symposium has been dedicated to exploring business law. Through the publication of articles, notes, comments, and empirical legal studies, the Law Review provides the profession with timely evaluations of current problems in the law and serves students as a valuable educational tool.

Members of the Law Review learn valuable research, critical analysis, and editing skills while exploring issues at a depth rarely found elsewhere in the law school experience. Each student member develops the ability to prepare an original work of scholarship apposite for publication. The Law Review is entirely student-led, affording members a chance to work and cooperate with their peers to produce a professional journal that serves as a practical research tool for judges, lawyers, and scholars.

Submission Requirements
The Law Review has a strong preference for articles under 25,000 words (including footnotes) and believes that 15,000 words or fewer (including footnotes) is an effective length for many articles. Short essays are also welcomed. All submissions should be in Times New Roman and 12-point font, with standard one inch margins. Contributing authors are requested to disclose any economic interests and affiliations that may influence the views expressed in submissions.

Methods of Submitting
The Wake Forest Law Review invites the submission of unsolicited manuscripts either through the mail or electronically. Manuscripts sent by mail should be sent to the attention of the Senior Articles Editor. Manuscripts submitted through the mail cannot be returned unless a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope is submitted with the manuscript. The address is:

Wake Forest Law Review

Wake Forest University School of Law

P.O. Box 7206 Reynolda Station

Winston-Salem, NC 27109-7206

Manuscripts may also be sent by e-mail to the [mailto:seniorarticleseditor@wakeforestlawreview.com Senior Articles Editor]. It is preferred that articles be submitted in Microsoft Word format, but WordPerfect format will be accepted as well. Also, please attach a cover letter describing the article and indicating why it should be published by the Wake Forest Law Review. When an author submits an article via e-mail, the Law Review will contact the author via e-mail, unless the author requests otherwise.

The Membership Selection Process
The Wake Forest Law Review extends invitations to approximately twenty percent of each rising 2L class and to any rising 3L student who enters the top ten percent of the class after the second year. Law Review members are selected in two ways. First, students ranked in the top ten percent (rounded off) of their class after completion of the first or second year of law school may “grade on” to Law Review. Second, a number of students equal to the rising 2Ls who grade on are invited to join the Law Review based upon their performance in a writing competition and their first-year grades. JD/MBA students may only participate in the writing competition at the end of their first year of law school.

The first-year writing competition takes place during the period immediately following spring semester exams and lasts for approximately two weeks. The participants write a “mini-Note” using only the cases and materials provided in the competition packet. All students invited to join the Law Review are notified during the latter part of July and must accept membership in writing within a specified period. All new staff members must return to Wake Forest for orientation, instruction, and/or editorial work before classes begin. Students who transfer to Wake Forest may also become members of the Law Review based on a separate writing competition that takes place just after classes start in August.

Common Law
Common Law is the online magazine of the Wake Forest Law Review. Common Law pieces are geared towards informing laypeople and practitioners of relevant legal issues. They have a strict maximum of 2,500 words and 40 footnotes.

Submissions should be sent by e-mail to the [mailto:executiveonlineeditor@wakeforestlawreview.com Executive Online Editor]. It is preferred that articles be submitted in Microsoft Word format, but WordPerfect format will be accepted as well. Also, please attach a cover letter describing the article and indicating why it should be published by the Law Review.
