Every journal will have its own standards for the type of student articles the journal publishes. Pay close attention to information provided by the journal on these standards when you begin writing your own article. Read past articles the journal has published to gain a better understanding of the flow of publishable articles. In addition to past articles published and specific standards discussed by the journal, there are resources dedicated to helping guide law students through the process of writing a journal article.
