The Law Librarian Blog has a post about Washington & Lee’s new online law review submission service, LexOpus, which “assists authors and law
journals with the submissions process. The system allows an author to
submit a work to a sequence of author-selected law journals. An author
may also, or instead, invite offers from any journal by choosing to
indicate the work as open to offers. Works may be hidden from public
view if the author wishes that. Please note that LexOpus only accepts
English language works.”
