New England Law Review On Remand Submissions

New England Law Review On Remand is the New England Law Review’s companion online publication. On Remand provides a forum for responsive discussion, letters to the editor, opinion editorials, and original thought.

The length of an On Remand article should be significantly shorter than an article submitted for print. Articles should be lightly footnoted; however, support should be cited where it is necessary to do so. On Remand articles should further the legal discourse by providing thought-provoking original and responsive discussion.

Each article is reviewed and edited by our staff before it is posted to the website. On Remand articles are edited using the same standards and close scrutiny as print articles.

To submit an article for the New England Law Review On Remand, please send the article electronically, to lawreview@nesl.edu and type “On Remand Submission” in the subject line. Please also include an updated curriculum vitae as an attachment in the same e-mail, as well as author contact information.
