Submitting Articles to OTHER schools' secondary journals as a current JD?

Specifically articles & essays (ie 15k-25k words). Possible, or will you be disqualified at the CV review stage?

HYS upperclassman if this matters. Otherwise, my "CV" is irrelevant.

If that's a no-go, what other avenues are there to get published? I.e., avenues that are well known, selective, and known to be selective?

I received 2 publications offers (one secondary, one TTTT LR) as a HYS rising 2L.

Some journals specifically said no student submissions, but the school paid for my submissions, so I blanketed all of those that didn't. Got a bunch of auto dings for being a student, but a lot of journals appeared to at least consider my work. Definitely possible!

Good luck!
