Article Submission Guidelines for Texas Lawyer as of October 2010

I. Tips on submitting articles for possible publication:
  • Ensure the article:
    • Has a Texas angle
    • Is timely
    • Is directly law-related
    • Is "different," i.e., would another law firm be interested in reading it?
    • Is original and not published elsewhere
  • If the article is unassigned, it is best to send a synopsis or bullet-point summary versus a fully written article
    • Refer to our online Editorial Calendar, which is updated regularly, for publishing dates of special focus areas.
    • Submit article information by e-mail to texlawinfo@alm.com approximately 12 weeks prior to issue date of special focus.
    • The best days to submit information are Monday-Wednesday
    • Should your article be selected for use, editors will need direct access to the lawyer who wrote the article, not just the firm's marketing director.
    • The editorial direction of Texas Lawyer and the articles we choose to include are in no way associated with advertising in the publication.
