CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS (Closed)
The Jacksonville University Law Review seek article submissions for Jacksonville University Law Review’s Symposium article and presentation submissions for our annual Symposium on February 23, 2024. This year, the Symposium topic is Environmental Law & the Impact on Coastal Communities. Environmental regulations affect the coastal communities particularly with topics concerning tourism, natural disaster impacts, climate change, & the effect on the wildlife populations.
We invite academics, scholars, practitioners, and stakeholders in law, social science, and related fields to submit proposals in the form of an abstract. Abstract submissions can focus on topics surrounding coastal communities, including but not limited to impacts on biodiversity, climate change, natural disasters, insurance, and zoning. Accepted authors may choose to submit a draft of the full article by November for publication in the symposium issue.
Jacksonville University Law Review publishes a Symposium Book and hosts a Symposium Event. Authors interested in writing an article for publication in the Symposium Book are not required to present at the Symposium Event but may choose to, or be requested to present by the law review. Please note that with your submission, feedback will be provided promptly. Ideally within two weeks to respect both the time of the authors and the symposium going forward.
Law Review Published Articles: The Jacksonville University Law Review will review, edit, and publish submissions in the 2024 Symposium issue. Articles, as well as case studies and abstracts of research in progress, will be considered for the Symposium Event for presentation purposes. Only complete articles, however, will be published in the Law Review.
