I'd like to again solicit submissions to our peer-reviewed Journal of Free Speech Law, and mention one of our great advantages: We can publish quickly (by the standards of academic journals), if that's what you'd like. 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 2½ months after we received them, when the author has wanted to move fast.
To my knowledge, many top student-edited journals are shut down for the Winter, and won't review manuscripts until February. That means the manuscripts probably wouldn't be published until the end of 2026, or even later. But if you submit to us now, and want to publish quickly, you can have the article out by February or March.
There are other advantages as well: We offer anonymized feedback from the reviewers whether the article is accepted or rejected; many authors have told us this was very helpful. And when we accept article, it's edited by one of our Executive Editors (Jane Bambauer, Ash Bhagwat, or me), and many authors have likewise told us that the edits, by experienced free speech scholars, are quite useful.
