At present, the 2008-2009 Articles Editors are no longer reviewing submissions nor accepting requests for expedited review for the 2009 Volume of the University of Illinois
Law Review. Review of submissions will be again in August. If you have submitted already and choose to publish through a different route, please let us know. |

| Light Edit Policy |
The Law Review follows a light edit policy.
After an article is accepted, we discuss the scope of editorial input that
the author desires. Even if an author does not request a light edit, our
editors presume that the author’s diction and syntax have been carefully
chosen. Accordingly, we make stylistic changes only when such changes are
strictly necessary to enhance clarity or grace. This policy reflects our
belief that legal scholarship should express its author’s voice,
not ours. |
| |
| Citation and Style Guidelines |
Manuscripts should conform to the Chicago Manual of Style (15th
edition) and to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (17th
or 18th edition). |

| Submission Methods |
There are three ways to submit a manuscript to the Law
Review.
- The Law Review prefers that authors
submit manuscripts electronically via ExpressO.
- Alternatively, authors may submit manuscripts by emailing their
work to lrev@law.uiuc.edu.
- Finally, authors may mail manuscripts to:
Articles Editors/Book Review Editor
University of Illinois Law Review
University of Illinois College of Law
244H Law Building
504 East Pennsylvania Avenue
Champaign, IL 61820-6996
Please indicate whether your submission is an article or book review
essay by addressing your piece to the appropriate editor. The Board
of Editors encourages authors to include a cover letter and curriculum
vitae with their manuscript. |

| Expedited Review |
While the Law Review has no formal
process for expedited review, we will try to accommodate requests for
expedited review while classes are in session. We are unable to accommodate
requests for expedited review during the reading and exams period.
The 2008-2009 Articles Editors will be accepting requests for expedited review beginning at a future date. |

| Student Note Submissions |
| Note: Students may also submit notes according to the student note submission guideliness. |
