The American Indian Law Review is accepting submissions from outside authors.
AILR is reorganizing to focus heavily on publishing outside articles going forward. If you have an idea for a law review article on native american law, please submit!
We accept submissions year round, but this year, submissions received by August 1 will receive a decision before December 1.
National Recognition and Publication that Remains Relevant
Founded in 1973, AILR was the first-ever journal dedicated specifically to Native American legal scholarship. While many journals have followed our lead, AILR is the flagship journal of U.S. Native American legal scholarship. AILR is both nationally and internationally recognized, trusted, and respected. As a result, papers published by AILR are often cited in appellate briefs and opinions of the U.S. Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of the United States.
Federal Indian Law is unique. In one sense, it is foundational and consistent, yet in another, entirely inconsistent and subject to change with every swing of the pendulum. AILR does not constrain itself to only publishing papers sympathetic to Indian Law. The issues published by AILR are therefore, always needed and always relevant–no matter which direction the law moves. This continued relevance is the legacy of the American Indian Law Review–a legacy that we are committed to protecting and expanding. A legacy that we invite you to join.
