Submission Guidelines

Are you an undergraduate? Are you interested in becoming a lawyer? Just love the law? Looking to get experience in legal writing? Then The Oregon Advocate is for you. Simply write up an article, case note or book review and send it to us. Just follow the steps below and you too could be published.

1. Pick a legal topic that interests you. It could be a legal trend, an area of law, or a particular test and its effect on other cases. You could also examine a specific case before the Court, the guiding precedents, the possible outcome and its effects. You could also write a review of a current book on the law. Just take a look in the archives for examples.

2. Send your submissions to:
