Loyola University Chicago Law Journal

The Loyola University Chicago Law Journal has announced unique opportunity for publication. Each year, the Law Journal devotes an entire issue to topics relating to Illinois law and the Illinois judiciary, entitled the Illinois Judicial Symposium. Through this special issue, the Law Journal hopes to provide Illinois judges, practitioners, and scholars with a valuable source of information concerning significant trends and developments in Illinois law as well as recent cases and controversies. Moreover, the readership of this issue is substantial, as the Law Journal, together with the Illinois Administrative Courts, sends a copy of the issue to every judge in Illinois.

The Illinois Judicial Symposium issue is scheduled for publication in the early spring of 2006. Accordingly, the Law Journal will accept any submissions, relating to an Illinois topic, by October 1, 2005. Additionally, the Law Journal features the Judicial Mentorship Program. The Judicial Mentorship Program pairs a judge with a junior member of the Law Journal to write an article on an Illinois topic of interest to both the judge and the student. The program began last year and resulted in a feature article in the current issue of the Illinois Judicial Symposium. The Judicial Mentorship Program provides you with a unique opportunity to work with a future member of the profession and share your expertise.

If you are considering submitting an article, participating in the Judicial Mentorship Program, or have any questions or concerns, please contact Paul Rodrigues, Executive Editor of the Illinois Judicial Symposium, at the Law Journal office at 312.915.7183, or via e-mail at prodri3@luc.edu.
