How do I select specialized law categories for my journal?

To help authors browse law reviews more easily, there is a filter for the law review submission pool. Authors browse all law reviews by default, but can also browse journals by specialized areas or only general law journals.



If your journal was created as a specialty law review upon sign up, then the journal admin user can adjust and select to two (2) specialty areas for their law review by going to:

My Journals > Settings > Journal Settings > Journal Type

General law journals

If your journal is looking for manuscripts from all fields of the law, make sure to select "General" as one of your two options when creating your journal account. You do not have to select a second option unless you want to attract more submissions from a particular area of law.
