I'm pleased to report that it has been 5 years since the Journal of Free Speech Law published its first article, and since then we've published a total of 150. We've published some of the top people in the field from some of the top law schools, such as Geoffrey Stone (Chicago), Genevieve Lakier (Chicago), Jane Ginsburg (Columbia), Philip Hamburger (Columbia), Lee Bollinger (Columbia), Stuart Benjamin (Duke), Joseph Blocher (Duke), Mark Tushnet (Harvard), Andrew Koppelman (Northwestern), Jeremy Waldron (NYU), Cynthia Estlund (NYU), Christopher Yoo (Penn), Mark Lemley (Stanford), Danielle Citron (Virginia), Jack Balkin (Yale), and Robert Post (Yale),
But we've also published professors from other law schools; professors from other disciplines; authors from other countries; and a few law students or fresh law school graduates whose articles have been accepted through our blind review process. The articles have been cited so far in 14 court cases, over 500 articles, and over 140 briefs. And note that all the articles have only had five years or less to attract these citations.
We also publish quickly (by the standards of academic journals), if that's what authors would like. Several of our most recent articles, for instance, were published 3 to 5 months from when we received them, and that includes the time stemming from the authors revising their articles in various ways (which we certainly allow, if the author is willing to take the time). We have published articles as quickly as a month after we received them, when the author has wanted to move fast.
