Guidelines for Publication
The North Carolina Law Review welcomes submissions by judges, professors, and practitioners. All submissions should include a cover letter and conform to the 22nd edition of The Bluebook. Please note that we only accept student writing from current law students at the University of North Carolina School of Law. We do not accept student pieces from students at other law schools.
In an effort to address the growing length of law review articles, the North Carolina Law Review has adopted a new policy limiting the length of articles we will accept or publish. The Review will give preference to articles under 25,000 words in length—the equivalent of 50 law review pages—including text and footnotes. The Review will not publish articles exceeding 40,000 words—the equivalent of 75 to 80 law review pages—except in extraordinary circumstances.
