Staff Seminar
Experiences on the Process of Publishing in U.S. Law Reviews
29 April 2025 (Tuesday), 12:30-2:00 PM
Academic Conference Room, 11/F Cheng Yu Tung Tower, HKU
Most U.S. academics publish primarily in student-edited law reviews. The process for submitting to and working with those law reviews is distinctive. In this seminar, Professor Fisch, who has published more than a hundred articles in student-edited law reviews, will share her experiences and offer practical guidance. Topics covered will include how to prepare an article for submission, the submission process, how to navigate an offer of publication, and what to expect from the subsequent editorial process.
