Expedited Review

Editing Process
We accept an article for publication only if we have determined it to be of publishable quality. Once an article has been edited to comply with The Bluebook and The Chicago Manual of Style, the author will receive a “red-lined” copy that shows changes that have been made. Moreover, we believe authors make their arguments most effectively when they speak in their own voice. Accordingly, substantive changes are suggested with deference to the author. Throughout the publication process, we endeavor to facilitate a close working relationship with each author by maintaining open and responsive communication.
Reprint Policy
Each author receives twenty (20) special cover reprints of their article, compliments of the Southern University Law Review. Additional reprints are available at an extra cost, to be determined by the size of the article. Authors should inquire about reprints at the time of publication.
National Code of Law Reviews Model Code of Ethics
The Southern University Law Review has adopted the National Conference of Law Reviews Model Code of Ethics, which can be found at 75 Marq. L. Rev. 509 (1992).
