Aims & Scope

The Virginia Law Review publishes eight issues per year: March, April, May, June, September, October, November, and December. We welcome Article submissions from judges, professors, practitioners, and law clerks. We do not, however, consider work written exclusively by current law students (though University of Virginia law students can submit Notes).
