CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Our online companion journal, SUpra, seeks submissions for Vol. 47 from legal professionals and scholars. SUpra submissions should be original pieces of timely scholarship on newsworthy or important legal topics. Submissions should aim to be approximately 3,000–6,000 words in length (though there are no absolute restrictions) with citations in Bluebook format.



This year, SUpra is aiming to revamp its operations. SUpra works in tandem with our print journal; however, its purpose is to timely publish pieces in response to legal developments and news, occurring in real-time (e.g., a critique of a recently passed statute, a commentary of a recent judicial opinion, a review of a current legal issue affecting the community, a response to another SULR article, and more). You can explore SUpra at: https://lnkd.in/d6FBVxa.



Questions and submissions should be addressed to Senior Online Editor Brianne Zamora (she/her) at [email protected].

Our online companion journal, SUpra, recently published Jona Goldschmidt’s article, Equal Injustice for All: High Quality Self-Representation Does Not Ensure a Matter Is “Fairly Heard."

This article challenges the assumption, upon which many access-to-justice programs are based, that because effective self-representation can be taught, being an expert self-represented litigant (SRL) will ensure that their case will be fairly heard. Goldschmidt argues that this is not the case, and case studies would suggest that expert SRLs are vulnerable to experiencing miscarriages of justice that injure their case; in contrast to being a represented party. Offering three cases in which Goldschmidt was personally involved, Goldschmidt recommends that courts should adopt a policy that would encourage judges to provide reasonable accommodations so that SRLs’ cases can be fairly heard.
