hlr-topic-selection

separate

Use when choosing or sharpening a topic for a Harvard Law Review (HLR) Article, Essay, or Book Review so it is timely, generalist-legible, and placeable in the student-edited law-review market. Judges fit and timing; it does not run the preemption search (that is hlr-preemption-check) or draft the claim.

• Choosing a topic for an HLR Article
• Sharpening a topic for an HLR Essay
• Selecting a topic for an HLR Book Review
• Judging if a topic is HLR-sized
• Evaluating topic timing and placement
• Assessing generalist legibility of a topic

When not to use

• Running the preemption search
• Drafting the claim
• Writing student Notes
• Pitching Supreme Court Forewords uninvited
