Organizing article data and information as well as streamlining communications are the most important goals of any submission system. The submission process used by law professors and law review journals severely fails to meet those goals. The Automated Law Review Submission System (ALRSS) has been developed in order to meet those goals. Many potential ALRSS users were interviewed and a rigorous set of requirements was developed. ALRSS successfully provides an easily accessible, central document and information repository, and also would nearly eliminate the use of phone, fax, mail or personal email. Furthermore, the system enables editors of law reviews l;o control the workflow of the review process. With further development, ALRSS will compete commercially with ExpressOTM in the law article community and strive to operate as effectively as MonsterTrakTM and LSDASTM do in their respective communities. The long term goal of ALRSS is to function as a general submission system that can be customized for a specific submission processes.
