Yale Law Journal Pocket Part Submissions

The Yale Law Journal Pocket Part publishes original scholarship and responses to scholarship published in the printed pages of The Yale Law Journal. We accept submissions from professors, practitioners, judges, legislators, and law students. We strongly encourage submissions of between 1000 and 1500 words. If a submission goes beyond this upper limit, each word over 1500 must be integral to the submission's central argument in order for us to consider accepting it. All submissions should be written in a style accessible to a general audience of practitioners and policy-makers, and should conform to our Style Guide. For a more detailed guide to submissions, please read our Call for Papers.

The Pocket Part uses a blind submission process. In order to ensure an impartial review of your submission, please identify yourself in your cover letter, but do not identify yourself in your electronic submission.

We hope to respond within two weeks, and to publish within two months of acceptance.
