The University of Toledo Law Review’s Editorial Board are seeking submissions for their Dean’s Issue, slated for publication in early spring 2024. Each Dean’s Issue presents ideas and insights about legal education from law school deans and interim deans. Pieces within this edition provide a vivid picture of the issues facing law school deans. The pieces also serve as a roadmap for those considering a career in legal education.
This year, the Editorial Board is focused on highlighting and celebrating DEI Deans and their initiatives within the law school landscape. The Board hopes to publish pieces that:
- Feature the experiences of DEI Deans,
- Unpack the challenges of implementing DEI initiatives,
- Provide predictions on the future of DEI Deans, and/or
- Debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding DEI.
Given recent events surrounding higher education, essays addressing law school admissions or the future of legal education are also welcome.
The format of each piece is left to the contributing dean’s discretion. Past formats have included traditional essays, poems, short stories, and literary criticism. The suggested page length is twelve (12) to fifteen (15) manuscript pages. Footnotes are optional.
The Board requests proposals be submitted no later than September 8, 2023. If you have questions or would like to reserve a place in this impactful Issue, fondly referred to as the “DEIn’s Issue,” please contact Rebecca E. Zietlowme (rebecca.zietlow@utoledo.edu ) at your earliest convenience. She will then connect you with the Law Review’s Executive Articles Editor, Stoyna Novakova. Stoyna will provide you with additional details and deadlines. She will also serve as your liaison throughout the publication process.
