Submit to the Peer-Reviewed Journal of Free Speech Law
We've been going through our first set of submissions, and honoring our "answer within two weeks" policy. Our average response time has been 6 days, so though we only accept exclusive submissions (like many peer-reviewed journals do), you'll get a quick aye-or-nay from us. And we're also offering a modest amount of reviewer feedback—constructive, we hope—if the article is rejected, something most other law reviews don't do. So submit now! Submission guidelines are at JournalOfFreeSpeechLaw.org.
Our first issue will be a symposium on social media platform regulation in April, scheduled to be out in July; nine prominent scholars are participating. Our next issue will likely be printed in October, but articles will be electronically published as quickly as they are ready, so if you have a time-sensitive piece, we will be able to publish it within a few months (or perhaps even more quickly).
We accept articles from all sorts of authors; we neither exclude submissions from law students (or others) nor offer them any separate publication track.

Free speech in higher ed — which is largely nonexistent at this point — might be a fertile ground to till…
Your bro is funny.
Unclear what that little article has to do with anything tho.
It’s an unusual piece, I’ll give you that. But it has been cited by over 160 law review articles, which I expect puts it easily within the top 1% of all law review articles when it comes to such citation counts.
Wow.
Best of luck with your new journal. Your policy to review submissions should be copied by other academic journals.
“Your policy to review submissions should be copied by other academic journals.”
What are you talking about? Aside from Law Reviews that is the practice of essentially all other professional journals.
6 day turnaround? Pretty quick. If rejected, people can resubmit, not wait 6 months then get rejected.
