ICYMI:  THE JOURNAL OF FREE SPEECH LAW - A NEW LAW JOURNAL

"The Journal of Free Speech Law, a New Faculty-Edited (Peer-Reviewed) Law Journal"
EUGENE VOLOKH | 2.22.2021 9:55 AM

"[Professor Eugene Volokh announced] the founding of the Journal of Free Speech Law, a new faculty-edited law journal. (Motto: "It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment.") The journal will publish in print as well as electronically; the first issue—a symposium on regulation of social media removal decisions—will come out in Summer 2021. (Many thanks to the Stanton Foundation for a generous multiyear grant that will allow all this to happen.)

...

The executive editors will be Jane Bambauer, Ashutosh Bhagwat, and [Professor Volokh], and [he] will also serve as the editor-in-chief. If you're interested in seeing links to [our] articles, as well as the occasional other announcement, follow [them] on Twitter at @JournalSpeech.

[They] plan to publish:

1. Articles that say something [they] don't already know.
2. Articles with all sorts of approaches: doctrinal, theoretical, historical, empirical, or otherwise.
3. Articles dealing with speech, press, assembly, petition, or expression more broadly.
4. Generally not articles purely focused on the Free Exercise Clause or Establishment Clause (which [they] leave to other publications, such as the Journal of Law & Religion), except if they also substantially discuss religious speech.
5. Articles not just about the First Amendment, but also about state constitutional free speech provisions, federal and state statutes and regulations protecting or restricting speech, common-law rules protecting or restricting speech, and private organizations' speech regulations.
6. Articles about U.S. law, foreign law, comparative law, or international law.
7. Both big, ambitious work and narrower material.
8. Articles that are useful to the academy, to the bench, or to the bar (and if possible, to all three).
9. Articles arguing for broader speech protection, narrower speech protection, or anything else.

[They] also plan to publish quickly, without interfering with the author's style, voice, or perspective."
