The Alaska Law Review is a scholarly publication dedicated to the examination of legal issues affecting the state of Alaska.

ALR welcomes manuscript submissions concerning legal topics specifically relevant to Alaska. This does not mean, however, that we are interested only in state law issues; ALR also seeks articles concerned with federal issues of special importance to Alaska.

Authors should adhere to the linked guidelines when submitting manuscripts.

Please feel free to email our articles editors — alr@law.duke.edu —  should you have questions. We will be happy to assist you.

Submit an Idea

Do you have a topic idea you want to see published in ALR? We are committed to making the journal a valuable and relevant resource for practitioners in Alaska. As such, we are currently accepting topic suggestions for future ALR issues! Topic ideas are not confined to note-length articles and can include various kinds of research: comments, legislative histories, case law review, etc.

To submit a topic idea, please follow this link. Once we receive your suggestion, ALR will distribute the topic idea to our editors interested in publication. We may contact you for further guidance if one of our editors is available. Please note that these are suggestions; we cannot guarantee that every submission will result in publication.
