The South Carolina Law Review is pleased to announce the creation of the Peer Reviewed Scholarship Marketplace (Prism). Prism is the next generation for article submission to student edited legal journals, taking advantage of subject matter experts to review articles prior to submission. It is based on a model tested by our Peer Review Pilot Program, which ultimately led to the contents of Volume 60, Book 4. For more information on our experience of and vision for peer review, please download our Essay.

Member journals will enjoy peer reviewed articles to choose from as well as reviews to guide them in their article selection at no cost or obligation to publish them. They simply make offers as they do with any article submitted to them in the past. Prism will only supplement the current process in place, providing an additional method to receive articles.

We are currently soliciting journals to join Prism. If your journal is interested, please contact our Peer Review Editor, William Tinkler, at william.tinkler@gmail.com.

For more information regarding PRSM, please visit our website at www.legalpeerreview.org/.

We ask that submission to Prism be exclusive for the protection of our reviewers. Reviews will, however, take no longer than six weeks. While peer review will slightly delay the submission process, the reviews will be worth the delay. Students, who before had only authors’ resumes and their limited experience to guide them in article selection, will have the benefit of reviews by subject matter experts.

If you are in the process of writing an article and would like to learn more about the benefits of peer review, please contact our Peer Review Editor, William Tinkler, at william.tinkler@gmail.com.

If you have any expertise in an area of the law and would like to contribute to the improvement of legal scholarship as a reviewer, please contact our Peer Review Editor, William Tinkler, at william.tinkler@gmail.com. Reviews will be kept anonymous as part of our double blind methodology. We will not ask any volunteer to review more than one article in a given year because we recognize that your time is valuable. .
