The editors of TYL and After the Bar welcome the opportunity to review unsolicited manuscripts, letters to the editor, and reader feedback. Please note that we tend to publish manuscripts that cover the topics that are important to new lawyers. Publication is not guaranteed, and the editorial board reserves the right to request revisions or rewrites or to revise/rewrite the articles and headlines themselves. Articles accepted for publication online may not appear in print, as we have very limited space. We will do our best to respond with an initial decision within a few weeks.
How to Contribute to TYL, After the Bar, and Student Lawyer
Publications
TYL
TYL is a digital publication with a quarterly print magazine component designed to deliver specific, practical, evergreen content and information in an entertaining and easy-to-read format that maintains a professional presentation. TYL is not a law review or a scholarly journal.
TYL Audience: All TYL content must appeal to and inform the broader base of young lawyer members across the country under the age of 36 or admitted to practice for 10 years or less.
After the Bar
After the Bar is a digital publication designed to help new lawyers navigate the transition from law student to lawyer and to guide them through the early stages of their legal careers. After the Bar focuses on professional development, ethics, how to network, manage finances, choose a specialty, and survive and thrive in today’s law office or legal environment.
After the Bar Audience: After the Bar content is specifically for new graduates and 0–2 associates.
Student Lawyer
Student Lawyer is the ABA Law Student Division’s blog for how-to-content for law students. Young lawyers are encouraged to contribute articles particularly in terms of “what I wish I’d known” or information on how to get into specific areas of law.
