DLR Forum Submissions

The DLR Forum publishes articles year-round on a rolling basis. Articles may be submitted directly to the Senior Forum Editor, Charlotte Rhoad, at charlotte.rhoad@du.edu, or through our Forum Scholastica account. We accept submissions from professors and practitioners, prioritizing recent developments in the law. Preferred areas of focus include pieces on current policy and law issues recently adjudicated in the Supreme Court or pertinent in the 118th Congress. The Forum is also partial to submissions regarding current issues in the Colorado Supreme Court or the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.
