The AIPLA Quarterly Journal functions with the assistance of an Editorial Board that provides peer review of articles submitted for publication.

AIPLA is currently seeking members interested in serving on the Editorial Board of the AIPLA Quarterly Journal.  The primary duties of Editorial Board members include: 

• soliciting manuscripts for submission to the Quarterly Journal;
• reviewing manuscripts submitted to the Quarterly Journal;
• selecting reviewed manuscripts for publication; and
• editing manuscripts for substantive content.

Reviewing manuscripts submitted by authors for publication in the Quarterly Journal takes the most time. Two Editorial Board members review each manuscript, comment on the manuscript, edit the manuscript (if necessary), and indicate whether the manuscript should be selected for publication.  Board members have approximately 1–2 weeks to complete this task for each manuscript.  Over the year, a member can expect to receive 10–15 manuscripts for review.

Participation on the Editorial Board is a rewarding and educational experience.  It provides an opportunity to work with outstanding professionals with expertise in IP law to help shape the future of the Quarterly Journal. In addition, manuscripts for review are often on cutting-edge topics of interest to the intellectual property community.

The application is now open. Apply here by Sunday, August 31, 2025, for consideration.
