2027 Texas Law Review Symposium
The Texas Law Review is now accepting proposals for our Volume 105 Symposium. We plan to host the symposium in January or February of 2027. The Review traditionally publishes a print issue following the symposium; author submissions for the issue will be due ahead of the event in early-January 2027.
Submissions of symposium proposals will be accepted via email at eic@texaslrev.com. Our editorial board plans to make a selection for the 2027 symposium shortly after the semester concludes in May. Please submit your proposal by Friday, April 17, 2026.
To enable our board to best assess your proposal, please provide a substantial description of your idea and its contribution to legal scholarship, including its originality, timeliness, and unique contribution to legal thought. Please also submit an addendum that includes the following:
- A list of potential symposium authors / speakers that you believe will add to the academic quality of the event and the resulting publication.
- An explanation of the appeal the symposium will have to legal practitioners, judges, and students such that these individuals will be inclined to attend the event.
- Any anticipated source(s) of funding for the proposed symposium, including how certain it is you will receive this funding.
- Please note that we may give preference to proposals that are funded.
- The name and contact information of the proposed sponsor who will serve as the point person for coordination with the Texas Law Review.
- Please note there may be preference for collaboration with a person at the University of Texas School of Law.
Please reach out to eic@texaslrev.com should you have any questions about submissions. We look forward to receiving your proposals!
