FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The University of Arkansas School of Law Arkansas Law Review has relaunched Arkansas Law Notes as its online edition to deliver a quick publication turnaround for timely, relevant scholarship relating to current Arkansas and national legal issues.
"As an editorial board, we believe it is important for the Arkansas Law Review to actively publish work that is relevant to the Arkansas legal community," said McKenzie Raub, third-year law student and the publication's editor-in-chief. "Making Arkansas Law Notes the online platform for the Arkansas Law Review gives the editorial board flexibility to feature current legal conversations in new and exciting ways."
The launch edition features "Migrating Lawyers," by Howard Brill, the Vincent Foster Professor of Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility and former chief justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court. In the column, Brill discusses a recent Arkansas Supreme Court decision. Readers can expect more perspective on the Supreme Court in future editions, as well as articles and notes from professors, students and practitioners.
Arkansas Law Notes was first published in the mid-1980s as a paper-only journal of short articles written by University of Arkansas School of Law faculty members and delivered to Arkansas lawyers. Its evolution to an online companion to the Arkansas Law Review will allow the publication to increase its focus on breaking legal news while continuing to explore legal developments in Arkansas and beyond.
To submit to Arkansas Law Notes, please email mjgoss@uark.edu. Editors look for prompt, relevant pieces that will spark academic discourse in the Arkansas legal community. Submissions from professors, judges, practicing attorneys, law students and scholars from other fields may tackle novel legal issues or respond to articles or essays that have been published in previous issues the Arkansas Law Review.
