Law Scholarship Impact and Visibility

SSRN

SSRN Submissions: The Law Library facilitates the submission of Law School faculty scholarship to the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).  Faculty can submit papers via the Law School’s SSRN Submission Form or by contacting Vicente Garces at garce003@umn.edu or (612) 624-2597. Papers submtted by either of these methods will be included in the  University of Minnesota Law School Legal Studies Research Paper Series and also appear on the Law School’s Faculty Research Papers (SSRN) web page.

If you'd prefer to submit your manuscript  to SSRN yourself please use this link to have your paper included in the Law School's SSRN Legarl Research Papers Series and also contact Vicente Garces, garce003@umn.edu to obtain the Research Paper No. to include with your submission.
