As of August 1, 2009, Pace Environmental Law Review (PELR) will use a new Peer Review process to select articles for publication. Submissions will be reviewed internally and then forwarded to a select group of Peer Reviewers – academics, practitioners, and experts in the field, including members of Pace Law School’s world-renowned environmental law faculty. The Peer Review process will offer new and distinctive opportunities to foster continued debate and reflection upon some of the most pressing topics within the field of environmental law.

A step in the right direction for law reviews. Their peer review FAQ is here. Now if PELR would publish on the web in an open format, that would really put them in the forefront. The “archive” link on the PELR website redirects to HeinOnline and requires a login for access. Maybe sign the Durham Statement and get those web publications going.
