They do not seem to have been doing this.
The coming year will bring new sections, and (I hope) improvements to our scheduling process. In the pipeline for the next semester are Anti-Trust, Fed Courts/Civil Procedure, and Legal History. Among the subjects on my to-do list for the next year or two are Bankruptcy, Contract, Family, Health Law, International Law, Law & Economics, Property and Tort. If you know someone who might be good to tap as a section editor for one of these subjects, please get in touch. (It might also be good to have a second Section Editor for Administrative Law or Constitutional Law. Suggestions – or self-nominations from Contributing Editors – welcomed.)
I also hope to revamp our scheduling mechanisms. As some of you have noticed, there can be significant delays between writing and publication. This is, on the whole, more feature than bug, as we try to rationalized the scheduling process, and the delays will never go away entirely. The problem is that sections at present vary widely as to the extent that every month is covered; there are also a couple of sections where people are not very good about keeping to schedules. The upshot is that it if we want to have a regular-seeming publication schedule (which in due course, as more sections come on line, I hope will be at least one post five days a week) it seems important to keep a buffer of articles in hand. I hope gradually to reduce the delay between submission and publication for most of you, but until we get more sections on line that depends primarily on smoothing out some of the hiccups experienced by some of the less reliable and productive sections.
