Omar Ha-Redeye has been appointed the Associate Editor (Law) for the Journal of Universal Rejection, a highly exclusive publication that is overly restrictive in selecting articles for publication. The journal is so exclusive that it has yet to publish a single issue to date.

The founding principle of the Journal of Universal Rejection (JofUR) is rejection. Universal rejection. That is to say, all submissions, regardless of quality, will be rejected. Despite that apparent drawback, here are a number of reasons you may choose to submit to the JofUR:

  • You can send your manuscript here without suffering waves of anxiety regarding the eventual fate of your submission. You know with 100% certainty that it will not be accepted for publication.
  • There are no page-fees.
  • You may claim to have submitted to the most prestigious journal (judged by acceptance rate).
  • The JofUR is one-of-a-kind. Merely submitting work to it may be considered a badge of honor.
  • You retain complete rights to your work, and are free to resubmit to other journals even before our review process is complete.
  • Decisions are often (though not always) rendered within hours of submission.

    • The position promises to be highly demanding and is guaranteed to challenge its editors in finding the courage to relate to authors that their submission will be rejected, regardless of quality, creativity, or ingenuity.

    • Delays in Access to Justice and Memories May 1, 2024
      Everyone is the poet of their memories. … But like the best poems, they’re also never really finished because they gain new meaning as time reveals them in different lights. Richard Hell The resolution of disputes does not always depend on the memories of parties or witnesses, but when credibility is at issue the memories […]
    • Awakening the Sun April 30, 2024
      I recently read about an interesting concept about reframing one’s point of view. It stated that if you wake up with the sun, you are still asleep. However if you awaken the sun, then you are truly awake. I had to read it a few times to actually understand it’s meaning, but then I realized […]
    • Tips Tuesday: Use the Verbatim Option in Google April 30, 2024
      You may have noticed that Google has changed its search results so that they now include words related to those in your search string. While this can be helpful, sometimes it means that the search results are not what you really wanted.  One way of forcing Google to return only the words you are searching […]
