Submissions

 Text should be double or triple spaced. Footnotes should conform to the standards set forth in The Bluebook. All editorial work is performed on Windows workstations using Microsoft Word software.

The Buffalo Law Review reserves editorial privilege with regard to all matters of form, including but not limited to, diction, grammar, spelling, syntax and matters of convention, as well as with regard to the substantive accuracy of citations.

Due to the large number of submissions received by the Buffalo Law Review each semester, only authors to whom the Review has decided to extend offers will be contacted. The Buffalo Law Review prides itself in a speedy and thorough articles review process, and will generally extend any offers of publication within one month of receiving a submission.

The Buffalo Law Review accepts all long-form submissions through Scholastica academic publishing accounts. Authors who submit electronically should attach a cover letter and a curriculum vitae in addition to the article. The Buffalo Law Review typically accepts submission during a fall and a spring open submissions window, but we may also elect to open shorter, exclusive submissions windows from time to time. To see whether the Buffalo Law Review is currently accepting submissions and to submit your article for publication please follow the submission link below and search for “Buffalo Law Review”:
