Cardozo Law Review in United States

Cardozo Law Review

The Cardozo Law Review, published six times a year, covers a wide range of relevant, contemporary issues in symposia, articles, and student notes.

As Cardozo Law Review’s online companion journal, de•novo is designed to promote discourse regarding current legal topics, as well as academic matters, through the publication of shorter (10-25 pages maximum) and more targeted pieces.

Thus, de•novo will host:

• Responses to articles published elsewhere, particularly the Cardozo Law Review itself;
• Updates to previous articles, perhaps in light of a recent development(s);
• Stand-alone pieces—both academic and practical—that are shorter in length and research expectations than a traditional law journal article;
• A collection of short commentaries on a given issue; and
• Texts of speeches or presentations.

Once selected, an article will be promptly reviewed, edited, and readied for online publication—as both a webpage and as a downloadable PDF file—within a few weeks.  Though citations may be altered to conform to BlueBook standards during this process, we give great deference to the author on issues of style and substance.  After publication, we will actively solicit responses to the article from other possible contributors—be they jurists, members of the academy or practitioners—in an attempt to generate timely discourse regarding the particular subject.  Doing so both furthers the journal’s mission, and provides contributors with broader exposure within the legal community.  The finished pieces will be available on the de•novo website both in PDF and HTML format and, two weeks after online publication, through the Westlaw® service.

Undoubtedly, de•novo will foster and expedite the dialogue generated by the highly-regarded articles of theCardozo Law Review.  We urge you to join in the discourse by sending us your submissions
