Looking for paying or non-paying publications to consider your freelance work?  Here are law/legal writing publications that may be on the prowl for freelance material.  Get visible. Get published.  Get noticed.

Student Lawyer  (American Bar Association publication).  From the Student Lawyer site:

Award-winning Student Lawyer magazine is published each month from September through May by the American Bar Association’s Law Student Division. It circulates to approximately 40,000 readers, most of whom are law student members of the ABA.

Student Lawyer is a legal-affairs features magazine, not a legal journal, that competes for a share of law students’ limited spare time. The articles we publish, therefore, must be informative, lively, well-researched good reads. We do not accept poetry, fiction, or footnoted academic articles or briefs. These guidelines are for freelance writer submissions only. For letters to the editor, reviews, opinion essays, and student/school news, please refer to our guidelines for those types of submissions.

The American Lawyer. From the American Lawyer site:

AmericanLawyer.com is a leading daily news source covering legal business that is essential to lawyers and administrators at the largest law firms.

.

The American Lawyer is a monthly feature magazine covering the business of large (AmLaw 200) law firms and the nation’s leading lawyers. While everything we write is related to the law, our focus is primarily on firms and people within this segment of the profession, rather than on the law itself or legal issues. Our audience is primarily composed of lawyers in these large firms, elite plaintiffs’ lawyers and government attorneys who deal with large firms, and in-house lawyers at major corporations who retain large firms. Personalities in the industry are a major focus of our reporting, as are “inside stories” about people and events that are shaping this segment of the legal industry.

Though American Lawyer journalists do most of the writing, the publication does occasionally use articles from freelancers. For editorial guidelines, click here.
