South Carolina Law Review is now accepting submissions for Volume 60’s Fourth Circuit Survey.

The purpose of the Fourth Circuit Survey is to publish Articles, Essays, Case Summaries, Notes, and Comments on legal topics applicable and significant to the Fourth Circuit’s legal community. Case Summaries are limited to recent significant decisions by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is generally considered to be the most ideologically conservative of the federal courts; the Fourth Circuit Survey is the only law review publication in the country dedicated solely to analyzing the Fourth Circuit. This project is part of the South Carolina Law Review’s ongoing commitment to publish legal scholarship that serves South Carolina’s Bench and Bar, not only on the state level but also on the federal level.

The Editorial Board will give serious consideration to every submission in light of the work’s originality, comprehensiveness, factual and legal accuracy, logic, clarity, and readability. All submissions must be final drafts of a publishable student work and must be double-spaced (both text and footnotes) in Times New Roman 12-point font. Case Summaries must be a minimum of seven pages, while Notes and Comments must be a minimum twenty-five pages. All submissions must comply with the Bluebook and the Texas Law Review Manual on Usage & Style.

The deadline for submission is January 30, 2009, and the Law Review will notify those authors selected for publication no later than March 2, 2009.

The South Carolina Law Review accepts submissions by either mail or email. Please mail submissions to:
