The Insurance Law Review accepts submissions year-round and is currently seeking articles, essays, comments, and notes on insurance law and related fields for upcoming issues. As the country’s leading venue for traditional doctrinal scholarship in insurance law, the Review also publishes interdisciplinary work addressing risk, insurance, and public policy.
We welcome scholarship on both established and emerging issues, including new insurance products, regulatory developments, insurance as a form of governance, and early case law analysis. Our authors include scholars across law, sociology, philosophy, history, and economics, as well as regulators, practitioners, and students.
Unlike most law reviews, the Insurance Law Review is peer-reviewed. Reviews are conducted on an expedited basis, with decisions typically issued within two weeks of submission. Accepted authors work closely with student editors throughout the publication process.
Submissions are preferred through Scholastica, but may also be sent by email to ilr@uconn.edu.
