Pace Environmental Law Review Announces Shift to Peer Review

Here’s a great announcement from one of the journals at my home institution:

As of August 1, 2009, Pace Environmental Law Review (PELR)  will use a new Peer Review process to select articles for publication.  Submissions will be reviewed internally and then forwarded to a  select group of Peer Reviewers – academics, practitioners, and  experts in the field, including members of Pace Law School’s  world-renowned environmental law faculty. The Peer Review  process will offer new and distinctive opportunities to foster  continued debate and reflection upon some of the most pressing  topics within the field of environmental law. Articles selected for  publication will benefit from:

·Expedited editorial processing of 8 to 10 weeks from  acceptance

·Single-article hard copy publication

·Inclusion in a bound volume distributed to PELR’s  wide-ranging list of subscribers

All articles submitted to PELR must be original scholarship  and not previously published.

Established in 1982, PELR was one of the first scholarly  environmental law journals.  We invite authors to submit  articles either via ExpressO or directly in either MSWord or  PDF format to the PELR Development & Acquisitions Editor  at pelracq@law.pace.edu.  More information is available here.

Feminist and other critical perspectives very welcome!
