For Authors:

The California Western Law Review welcomes unsolicited manuscripts on topics of interest to the legal profession. All pieces will be evaluated as expeditiously as possible, but we assume no responsibility for the return of unsolicited manuscripts, unless requested. Manuscripts will be approved for publication only after a Lead Article Board Review vote. If any part of the paper has been published elsewhere, the author must include this information at the time of submission.

For the 2025-2026 submission cycle, we are especially interested in publishing on topics concerning the rule of law, immigration, cryptocurrency, and the legal profession. The Journal is also accepting submissions of Essays, Book Reviews, and more short form writings. While these topics are of interest to our journal, we consider all submissions, and encourage authors to submit regardless of our topics of interest.

Submissions are also accepted via email at lawreview@cwsl.edu. Please submit your submission with a CV. Thank you for your interest in the California Western Law Review.
