The High Point University Law Review
The Law Review
The High Point University Law Review is a student-run organization dedicated to publishing thoughtful and rigorous legal scholarship. The Law Review publishes two issues annually. Through the publication of articles, notes, comments, and empirical legal studies, the High Point University Law Review contributes timely analysis of contemporary legal challenges while serving as a valuable educational resource for its members.
Membership on the High Point University Law Review provides students with intensive training in legal research, critical analysis, and precision editing. Student editors examine complex legal questions at a depth rarely experienced elsewhere in law school and develop the skills necessary to produce original scholarship suitable for publication.
The High Point University Law Review publishes scholarship for lawyers, professors, law students, and judges nationwide.

Submission Criteria
The High Point University Law Review considers unsolicited manuscripts for publication beginning each spring and continuing through November 1, or until all publication slots are filled. Submissions through Scholastica are strongly encouraged; manuscripts submitted via email to [email protected] will also be considered.
The High Point University Law Review strongly prefers articles between 15,000 and 30,000 words, including footnotes. We recognize that legal scholarship is often strengthened by clarity and concision, and we believe this range allows authors to develop their arguments fully while maintaining focus and readability.
All submissions must be prepared in 12-point Times New Roman font and submitted as a Microsoft Word (.docx) document or PDF (.pdf). Microsoft Word is strongly preferred. Submissions in other formats may not be considered. All footnotes must conform to the citation rules set forth in the most current edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation.
The High Point University Law Review makes every effort to accommodate requests for expedited review when a manuscript has received an offer of publication from another journal. As a newly established law review, we are continuing to refine our review procedures, which may result in delays in the decision-making process. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
The High Point University Law Review permits the use of AI assistance in preparing submissions, provided that such use is disclosed upon submission. Disclosures must identify the AI program used and explain the manner and extent of its use in preparing the manuscript.
Please contact [email protected] with any questions. We appreciate your interest in the High Point University Law Review.
Submissions will be accepted no later than November 1, 2026.
