All authors will receive an acknowledgment Email or letter when their article is received. Authors must keep our office informed of any changes in the status of the article (i.e., withdrawn, continued availability, etc.) and contact information. When the New Mexico Law Review publishes an article there is a very short timeframe in which to reach authors. It is necessary that we have current contact information and for the author to remain attentive to the article status.
The New Mexico Law Review will honor reasonable requests for an expedited review. However, if we are unable to give an expedited review by the date requested, you will be notified that the article has been withdrawn from our consideration. We request that authors use the expedited review privilege sparingly.
Please notify our office as soon as possible if your article is accepted by another journal so that we may withdraw it from consideration.
When your article is selected for publication, we will contact you by telephone, Email, or fax. You will receive our acceptance package that includes an offer letter, Author Response form, Author Information form, our standard Publication Agreement, and Manuscript Preparation for Accepted Authors. Return these materials promptly so we may begin the editing of the article.
