Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Journal Seeks Articles

The following is from a message from Jim Burkhard (Associate Professor of Law, University of South Carolina School of Law), editor of the American Bar Association’s Real Property, Probate and Trust Journal.

Dear Colleagues:

Have you considered publishing your next property or probate article in the ABA’s Journal of Real Property, Probate and Trust Law?

Advantages:

• 29,000 subscribers
• Peer reviewed
• All articles are edited both by students and professionals
• Citation checking is subject to rigorous review

The Journal has had an enviable track record of publishing quickly and on time. We believe the editing process is second to none, proven by the number of authors who have elected to publish more than one article in the Journal. Some scholars have found that the Journal is especially attractive for placement of tenure pieces and the like because it is peer-reviewed by professional editors.

Articles in the Journal are by leading academics and practitioners.

The practitioner articles, while often having more of a practical bent, are still very much well-researched scholarly pieces. From time-to- time we publish student pieces.

Although the Fall issue is already full, we are still accepting submissions for the Winter issue. Information regarding the submission process may be found in the ABA’s “Information for Authors,” available at the ABA Real Property and Probate Section’s web site: www.abanet.org/rppt/publications/journal/home.html. Click on – “How to write for the Journal.”

Estate planning, trust and probate articles should be submitted electronically to W. Birch Douglass, III, at bdouglass@mcguirewoods.com.

Real property articles should be submitted electronically to Roger D. Schwenke at rschwenke@carltonfields.com. 

For consideration for the Winter issue, we need the article no later than September 10, 2006.

If you have questions regarding the Journal or our policies, I would be delighted to chat with you on the phone (803-777-4155) or by email (Jimb@law.law.sc.edu). If I don’t know the answer, I’ll get you to the person who does.
