IMPORTANT
Regrettably, CLR is not able to confirm reception of an expedite request. An Articles Editor will only be in contact if there is interest in the piece. If more time is needed to review an article, CLR will contact the author and request an extension.
Additionally, because of the nature and schedule of the department, Notes & Comments is regrettably unable to provide expedited review of student comments..
Student Submissions
Thank you for your interest in submitting your student comment to the Notes & Comments Department of the California Law Review to be considered for publication. In each annual volume, CLR publishes approximately twelve student comments. Click here for more information on how to submit to the Notes & Comments Department.
