CALL FOR PAPERS
TOURO LAW REVIEW – SPECIAL ISSUE ON
LEGAL HUMOR
Are you funny? Were you the life of
the party in law school? Do you make your faculty colleagues or law firm
partners laugh out loud? The Touro Law Review is planning a special issue
on “Legal Humor” and seeks your work.
GUIDELINES
● We
are looking for short pieces (maximum of 10 pages double-spaced) that take a
humorous look at any aspect of the law, including law schools, the practice of
law, or the courts.
●
Pieces can take any form, including descriptive, expository, narrative, or
technical. Poetry, screen writing, song writing, and other forms of creative
writing are welcome as well.
● Law
professors, lawyers, judges, and current law students are eligible to participate.
Non-lawyers also are welcome to submit their work.
● Pieces
are due by Tuesday, September 1, 2026, and should be e-mailed as a Word
attachment to all three of the issue’s Faculty Coordinators:
Associate
Dean Rodger D. Citron (Touro University):
rcitron@touro.edu
Professor
Rena C. Seplowitz (Touro University):
rseplowi@touro.edu
Professor
Robert M. Jarvis (Nova Southeastern University): jarvisb@nova.edu
● The
Faculty Coordinators will review all pieces that are submitted by the deadline.
Acceptance decisions will be sent out on or before December 1, 2026.
● It
is expected that the accepted works will appear in Volume 41, Issue 5 of the Touro
Law Review, which currently is set to be released by July 1, 2027.
● Please
keep in mind: All pieces will be judged on their originality, novelty, and general
appeal to a legal audience. Previously published pieces will not be accepted. Pieces
that seriously examine the use of humor in legal matters or proceedings also will
not be accepted. Only legal humor pieces will be considered.
● Questions? Please e-mail
the Faculty Coordinators at the e-mail addresses listed above.
We look forward to laughing at your
work!
