Our peer-reviewed Journal of Free Speech Law, which is now five years old, has published over 150 articles, including by Jack Balkin (Yale), Mark Lemley (Stanford), Jane Ginsburg (Columbia), Philip Hamburger (Columbia), Christopher Yoo (Penn), Stuart Benjamin (Duke), Andrew Koppelman (Northwestern), and many others—both prominent figures in the field and emerging young scholars, including ones who didn't have a tenure-track academic appointment.

(This list doesn't include our reprinting others' symposia, which have also included many other top scholars, such as Robert Post, Mark Tushnet, Geoffrey Stone, Lee Bollinger, Jeremy Waldron, Danielle Citron, Genevieve Lakier, and more.)

The articles have been cited so far in 11 court cases, over 2000 articles (using Google Scholar counts), and at least 100 briefs.

And note that all the articles have only had five years or less to attract these citations.

But if you submit exclusively to us before that, we will give you an answer within 14 days; and then if you'd like to have it published quickly, we can publish it in within a few months, if it's sufficiently clean and cite-checked by your research assistant.

Of course, also please pass this along to friends or colleagues who you think might be interested.

asserted
we → note → them
All submissions must be exclusive to us, but, again, you'll have an answer within 14 days, so you'll be able to submit elsewhere if we say no.
asserted

Please submit an anonymized draft, together with at https://freespeechlaw.scholasticahq.com/. A few guidelines:
- Instead of a cover letter, please submit at most one page (and preferably just a paragraph or two) explaining how your article is novel.
asserted
article → submit → page
If there is a particular way of showing that (e.g., it's the first article to discuss how case X and doctrine Y interact), please let us know.
asserted
us → be → that
- Please make sure that the Introduction quickly and clearly explains the main claims you are making.
uncertain
you → make → claims
We prefer articles that get right down to the novel material (if necessary, quickly explaining the necessary legal principles as they go).
asserted
they → prefer → principles
- Like everyone else, we like simple, clear, engaging writing.

asserted
we → like → others
We publish:
- Articles that say something we don't already know.
- Articles with all sorts of approaches: doctrinal, theoretical, historical, empirical, or otherwise.
- Articles dealing with speech, press, assembly, petition, or expression more broadly.
- Generally not articles purely focused on the Free Exercise Clause or Establishment Clause, except if they also substantially discuss religious speech.
asserted
they → publish → speech
