Diversity is not limited to a list of identities, though we recognize how varied life stories create values and perspectives that are not traditionally amplified in legal scholarship and academia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>BULR Online<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>encourages submissions grounded in issues facing historically marginalized communities and underrepresented identities, particularly by authors who are traditionally underrepresented in legal academia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We invite authors to consider how their scholarship impacts and intersects with disenfranchised communities and identities. Authors may include a short statement in their cover letter summarizing how their unique identities shape their article\u2019s contribution to the field. This statement is not\u00a0required, and the\u00a0<\/span>BULR Online<\/span><\/i> is sensitive to the pressures on underrepresented scholars to perform their trauma. We would like to get to know you, your experiences, your ideas, and your values in a way that is comfortable and authentic to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Selection Criteria:<\/strong> We look for essays that are novel, clearly written, well cited, highly likely to generate further discussion and debate, and between approximately 1,500 to 4,500 words, including footnotes. We also consider authors\u2019 backgrounds to ensure the Law Review is representative of the broader community and to elevate otherwise underrepresented voices. All these factors are weighed holistically.<\/p>\n
