South Carolina Law Review

For Authors

Submit Manuscript

The South Carolina Law Review welcomes submissions on all legal topics. The Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors-in-Chief give serious consideration to every author’s submission and strive to be prompt in their review. While we strongly prefer submissions through Scholastica, the South Carolina Law Review also accepts submissions by mail and email. Please mail submissions to:

Editor-in-Chief
South Carolina Law Review
1525 Senate Street
Columbia, SC 29201

Please submit email submissions to: SCLREIC@mailbox.sc.edu. Most authors will be notified of a decision within two weeks of submitting.

Guidelines for Publication: The South Carolina Law Review welcomes submissions by judges, professors, practitioners, and law students. All submissions should include a cover letter and curriculum vitae and must conform to the 21st edition of The Bluebook.

In light of the ever-increasing length of law review articles, the South Carolina Law Review has adopted a policy limiting the length of articles we will accept or publish. The Law Review will give preferential review to articles under 30,000 words in length, including text and footnotes. The Law Review will not publish articles exceeding 40,000 words, except in extraordinary circumstances.

Requests for Expedited Review: Please submit requests for expedited review via email to Volume 75’s Editor-in-Chief, Evan B. Dawkins, at EvanBD@email.sc.edu. Our Editors make every effort to accommodate authors’ requests. Please include your name, submission title, other offers for publication, and your deadline for review in the request.

SCLR Online: Please visit our page describing SCLR Online’s submission policy for more information.

Opinions expressed by articles published in the South Carolina Law Review reflect those of the author and not necessarily those of the Law Review.
