The Pepperdine Law Review accepts essays, book reviews, and other forms of academic correspondence for publication, in addition to traditional lead articles. The citation format for essays, book reviews, and other forms of academic correspondence is exactly the same as traditional lead articles (e.g.: 42 Pepp. L. Rev. 320 (2014)).
The Pepperdine Law Review accepts submissions of essays, books reviews, and other forms of academic correspondence throughout the entire academic year on a rolling basis. Unlike traditional lead articles and student notes/comments, the Pepperdine Law Review guarantees publication of essays, books reviews, and other forms of academic correspondence within four weeks of their submission and acceptance to the Pepperdine Law Review. As soon as these pieces are ready for publication, they will be published onto pepperdinelawreview.com with temporary pagination, until the most recent of one of the four issues the Law Review publishes is ready for publication. Once the most recent issue is ready for publication, all Essays, Reviews, & Other Correspondence content is published at the end of that issue.
We are specifically looking for short essays (< 10,000 words). Submissions may be sent to benjamin.fraser@pepperdine.edu.
