The last check before uploading through HLR's own electronic submission system (harvardlawreview.org). HLR does not intake through Scholastica — Scholastica/ExpressO are the general-market platforms you use to multi-submit and expedite at peer journals (see hlr-placement-strategy); HLR itself takes the manuscript on its own portal. Unlike a peer-reviewed science journal, HLR receives a near-final, fully footnoted article — there is no "revise the methods later." The most common avoidable failures are an over-length manuscript, an incomplete footnote apparatus, skipped anonymization, and mistimed submission.
