V OLUME 46 2015–2016 B OOKS 1–4
Authors and Readers,
Thank you for visiting the University of Memphis Law Review website. We strive to publish volumes of the highest quality. Our goal is to provide authors with a professional editing process and readers with useful and insightful legal scholarship. We see our role as integrally tied to the
Law School’s reputation. Memphis is an excellent law school, and we are proud to call it our own. Because of that, we want every author and reader to see the individualized commitment that we bring to the editing process.
Our published authors include professors, judges, and attorneys from throughout the country who write on a variety of novel legal topics. We do not limit publication to specific jurisdictions, but rather seek to publish the best articles. We value articles that are clear, concise, and wellstructured: these are the articles that further legal debate and are useful to the legal community.
Volume 46’s Editorial Board hopes build upon the Law Review’s reputation for building great relationships with their authors and producing excellent Volumes. From the moment that authors accept an offer for publication, the Law Review staff seeks to communicate effectively.
Throughout the editing process, our Bluebooking staff will find and correct citations, allowing our Articles Editors to focus on a single article as a whole. In this way, the author receives integrated and effective feedback—rather than sporadic communication—from a member of the staff who knows the structure, theme, and thesis of the article by heart.
We are always open to direct submission of articles. If you would like to submit an article for publication, please email your resume, cover letter, and article to our Articles Editor, Ben Lewis, at cblewis1@memphis.edu. If you questions about subscribing to the University of Memphis
Law Review, please contact our Business Editor, Kelly Gray, at kagray@memphis.edu. Please also feel free to contact me at gwagner@memphis.edu, with any questions.
Respectfully,
Greg Wagner
Editor-in-Chief
