Expedited Review
If another journal has offered to publish your article, you may request an expedited review by emailing lawreview@albanylaw.edu. You may also call the editors at (518) 472-5857 to discuss the submission in question. Please state "Expedited Review Request" clearly in the subject line of your e-mail, and include the following information in the body of the email: the author's name, the article's title, a contact phone number, the journal making the offer, and the deadline for the expedited review to be completed. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that expedited review deadlines will be met; however, be assured that we will take all reasonable measures to review submissions within the specified time constraints.
The Selection Process
The Albany Law Review strives to publish articles making significant and original contributions to wide ranging areas of the law. We do not preclude articles based upon pre-set length or topic limitations. Essays, book reviews, and student note or comments will be considered on a limited basis.
All articles submitted should be publishable quality and in substantially finished form.
To contact the editors directly regarding a submission, call (518) 472-5857.
Editorial Philosophy
Through editing, Albany Law Review seeks to ensure the substantive and grammatical correctness of every line published. We pride ourselves on being exceedingly deferential to authors. We will never attempt to alter the "voice" of a piece. Any and all editorial changes made by Law Review staff will be finally agreed upon by the author prior to publication.
