Do you make your faculty colleagues or law firm partners laugh out loud? The _Touro Law Review_ is planning a special issue on \"Legal Humor\" and seeks your work.\n\nWe are looking for short pieces (maximum of 10 pages double-spaced) that take a humorous look at any aspect of the law, including law schools, the practice of law, or the courts.\n\nPieces can take any form, including descriptive, expository, narrative, or technical. Poetry, screen writing, song writing, and other forms of creative writing are welcome as well.\n\nLaw professors, lawyers, judges, and current law students are eligible to participate. Non-lawyers also are welcome to submit their work.\n\nPieces are due by Tuesday, September 1, 2026, and should be e-mailed as a Word attachment to all three of the issue's Faculty Coordinators:\n    Associate Dean Rodger D. Citron (Touro University):  rcitron@touro.edu\n    Professor Rena C. Seplowitz (Touro University):  rseplowi@touro.edu\n    Professor Robert M. Jarvis (Nova Southeastern University):  jarvisb@nova.edu\n\nThe Faculty Coordinators will review all pieces that are submitted by the deadline. Acceptance decisions will be sent out on or before December 1, 2026.\n\nIt is expected that the accepted works will appear in Volume 41, Issue 5 of the _Touro Law Review_ , which currently is set to be released by July 1, 2027.\n\nPlease keep in mind: All pieces will be judged on their originality, novelty, and general appeal to a legal audience. Previously published pieces will not be accepted. Pieces that seriously examine the use of humor in legal matters or proceedings also will not be accepted. Only legal humor pieces will be considered.\n\nQuestions? Please e-mail the Faculty Coordinators at the e-mail addresses listed above.  We look forward to laughing at your work!\n\n[Um: Was that \"at\" or \"with\"?  Possibly both?  DRE]",
