Washington and Lee Top 400 Journals

Washington and Lee School of Law developed a Law Journal Rankings Project to give scholars a resource to locate journals by subject, country or publication, or ranking (where available), to display journal editorial information, and to facilitate an author’s article submission to those journals. The project currently ranks journals based on citation data from a 2018-2022 survey period. The site is updated annually, to include data up through the preceding completed calendar year.
