The Connecticut Insurance Law Journal is the world’s only academic law review dedicated exclusively to the publication of original research on the law of insurance, risk, and responsibility. Since its founding in 1994, the Journal has published many articles that are theoretically sophisticated and of practical importance.
Since 2008, the Washington and Lee University’s survey of law journals has ranked the Connecticut Insurance Law Journal as its top periodical for insurance law. The Journal continues to publish such recognized insurance law scholars as Kenneth Abraham, Ronen Avraham, Tom Baker, Jay Feinman, Christopher French, Robert Jerry II, Kyle Logue, Jessica Roberts, Adam Scales, Daniel Schwarcz, Peter Siegelman, and Jeffrey Stempel—to name only a handful. The Journal has also had a proud tradition of publishing work by practicing lawyers such as William Goddard, Lorelie S. Masters and Douglas Richmond.
Unlike most law reviews, the CILJ is peer-reviewed. Our peer review process is conducted on an expedited basis, and we typically make acceptance decisions within two weeks of receiving a submission. Once a submission has been accepted for publication, student editors will work closely with its author to prepare it for publication.
