Yale Law Journal Pocket Part Seeks Wills, Trusts, and Estates Articles

The following is from a message I received from Lucy Wang, the Chair of the Yale Law Journal Pocket Part:

I am writing to let you know about our current Call for Papers on state law topics.  We are planning to publish two end-of-year issues focusing on recent developments in state courts and state legislatures, and thought your readers might be interested.  The Pocket Part is the online companion to The Yale Law Journal ( www.thepocketpart.org).  One of our goals is to bring critical focus to areas of lawmaking that deserve greater attention in the legal literature.  We are particularly interested in papers on will, trusts, and estates.  I’ve provided the text of our Call for Papers below; a pdf is also available here:  http://yalelawjournal.org/2007/10/05/callforpapers.html .

The Yale Law Journal Pocket Part is soliciting commentaries for two end-of-year issues: one issue will focus on new developments in state courts, and the other will focus on new developments in state legislatures. Our goal is to bring critical focus to an area of lawmaking that deserves greater attention in the legal literature, and we invite you to submit a commentary on a state law topic of your choosing.

Commentaries may explore a legal development at the state level that has not been extensively reviewed in legal scholarship and the popular press, or present a novel argument on a timely issue that has received attention.

Submissions should be no more than 1,500 words. We encourage authors to write in a style accessible to policy-makers and practitioners. For a detailed style guide and instructions for submitting your piece, please visit our website, www.thepocketpart.org, and follow the link for “Submissions.”
   
The deadline for submissions for both issues is Friday, November 2, 2007.
