Let’s be honest: Law reviews and journals aren’t exactly vanguards of cutting-edge innovation. I mean, the journal model has survived largely unchanged for decades. But I’m dedicating this week’s Ahead of the Curve to examples of law journals that are breaking new ground, both in their approach to content and in their subject matter. First, I’m looking at the latest edition of the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, which features more than 20 articles on the opioid crisis written by experts from across Yale University and its law students. Next up is the University of California at Los Angeles’ first-ever disability law journal. And finally, I’m talking to University of Missouri—Kansas City School of Law Professor Allen Rostron about why the law journal submission process such a headache.
