Interpreting Referendums now on-line
I'm thrilled that the Election Law Journal is leaving the final print version of my Interpreting Statutes Passed Through Referendums available on-line here. The whole March 2008 issue is here. I'm less thrilled that they misspelled my name at the end. But it is right much more often than it is wrong -- and this is a small price to pay compared to the $3,000 they wanted from me to buy the right to have the article on-line forever!

I would not hesitate to send them anything. It was an excellent experience -- at every stage. It has credibility as a peer-review publication and it has the ear of the community you want reading your work.
The copyright policy, as I blogged about here: http://prawfsblawg.blogs.com/prawfsblawg/2008/01/some-papers---.html, is not ideal, truth be told. You can't upload the PDF to SSRN. Contact me privately or the journal itself for more specifics. Ultimately, though, it appears on Westlaw, so getting wide distribution in the legal academic community is easy enough.

I think more details are necessary -
What was their copyright policy? What were the circumstances of this $3,000 offer?
Also, I have a piece that I am close to finishing and am contemplating submitting to them - would you recommend working with them?
