For a concise two page article on how to retain copyright of a law review article see An Introduction to Publication Agreements for Authors, Timothy K. Armstrong, May 13, 2009. Examples of publication agreement clauses are provided, one where the author retains the copyright and grants permission to the publisher, the other where the copyright is assigned to the publisher. The article discusses how to convince a reluctant publisher to let you retain copyright.
