Law-review placement is a **multi-submission market**: authors submit one near-final piece to many
Law-review placement is a multi-submission market: authors submit one near-final piece to many
reviews at once and use an offer from a lower-ranked journal to expedite review at higher-ranked
ones. This skill plans the campaign and the expedite — with the YLJ-specific rules, which diverge
from the generic model. It does not run the upload checklist (ylj-submission).
| Window | Character | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (Feb–Mar) | The main cycle; front-loaded into early-mid February | Submit when the piece is genuinely near-final; the slate is busiest |
| Fall (Aug) | Smaller cycle | Viable if the piece misses spring or is timely; fewer slots |
Submitting a not-yet-finished draft early to "be first" backfires: student editors evaluate a finished manuscript, and a rough draft draws a fast pass.
