ULJ Online operates as the Fordham Urban Law Journal’s online counterpart. We are committed to addressing legal and public policy issues affecting urban populations across the nation and throughout the world. ULJ Online features timely scholarly pieces accessible to a broader audience than our print publication. ULJ Online seeks scholarship that facilitates ongoing discussion of emerging legal issues, including pending legislation, recent/upcoming SCOTUS decisions, and other relevant topics.
Forms of submissions eligible for publication include timely essays analyzing discrete legal issues, book reviews, responses to Articles and Essays published in the print Urban Law Journal, dialogues, graphic-intensive empirical studies, and other submissions tailored to the online format. ULJ Online prefers to publish pieces between 2,000 and 5,000 words, but will consider pieces containing up to 7,500 words.
For particularly timely pieces, we can offer expedited publication turnaround. While the shorter length allows scholars to publish their thoughts within weeks of a new legal development, our rigorous editorial process ensures we maintain the quality of scholarship of our print publication.
The Fordham Urban Law Journal is the second-oldest publication and most-cited specialty journal at Fordham Law School. The Journal is the third-most cited public policy law journal in the country and is one of the few journals that focuses particularly on urban legal policy.
Authors may submit their essays using Scholastica or via email to both uljarticleseditor@fordham.edu and uljonline@fordham.edu.
