Open Access Policy

Recognizing the importance of open access to legal scholarship, Penn State Law Review is committed to allowing free and broad access to all content we publish. Thus, beginning with the third issue of our 112th volume, all of our content is available as a PDF download through our print issues.

Our Open Access Policy allows authors to reach a worldwide audience and increases the volume of legal scholarship freely available. Anyone using an internet search engine can access and download Penn State Law Review content at no cost. Additionally, authors publishing with Penn State Law Review are permitted to post drafts of their forthcoming articles to SSRN, Bepress, or other locations on the web.
