Peer reviewed? No, “published works and works-in-progress can be uploaded. …Although many authors wait to share their work until after it has been published, sharing a work-in-progress through the e-journal is encouraged as it helps promote a dynamic and interactive scholarly community. … While only recently published articles or works-in-progress will be included in the e-journal, authors are encouraged to upload older articles to the SSRN database as well.” (from an email posted by Nina Kohn on a listserv)

Description: The Elder Law Studies journal provides a forum for sharing current scholarship on elder law. Elder law is a specialized area of law focused on counseling and representing older persons or their representatives on later-in-life planning and other legal issues of particular importance to older adults. Unlike many other areas of the law, elder law is defined primarily by the client population to be served, not by a distinct set of legal doctrines. Accordingly, the Elder Law Studies Journal publishes articles that provide a learned, disinterested, and significant analysis of one or more legal issues of particular importance to older adults.
