We are currently accepting submissions for issues 75.4 and 75.5.

Issues 75.4 and 75.5 are dedicated to specific areas of the law, and we will host a corresponding symposium for each.

AULR is no longer accepting submissions for any other issues.

Issue 75.4 is dedicated to the law of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Law Review is seeking submissions discussing developments in the areas of international trade and government contracts that are of particular interest to the Federal Circuit. It is slated for publication in April 2026, and the symposium is scheduled for November 7, 2025.

Issue 75.5 is dedicated to labor and employment law. Specifically, we are seeking articles discussing the emerging issues in employee classification of college athletes, federal employee data protections, the future of the federal workforce and civil service protections, the Supreme Court’s recent rulings on Title VII cases, and any other labor or employment articles. Topics related to other areas of labor or employment law will also be considered. The issue is slated for publication in June of 2026, and the symposium is scheduled for February 6, 2026.

Thank you for your interest in AULR.


How to Submit

Please submit a draft manuscript to the Law Review through Scholastica by December 1. Authors should include a brief abstract and a curriculum vitae with their manuscript.

Submission Guidelines

Length: The Law Review values succinct arguments. We strongly prefer manuscripts less than 25,000 words in length, including footnotes. Manuscripts that exceed 30,000 words will be considered only in exceptional circumstances.

Format: Text and citations should preferably conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (22d ed. 2025). Submissions conforming to the 21st edition are acceptable; however, the Law Review will edit such citations accordingly. Manuscripts must use footnotes, as opposed to endnotes.

Authorship: The Law Review seeks to publish authors from diverse backgrounds. The Law Review welcomes submissions from professors, judges, and practicing lawyers. Unfortunately, we cannot consider submissions from students outside the journal’s own membership.
