Some very odd behavior by student editors at the Iowa Law Review
Lawprof Ramsi Woodcock (Kentucky) reports his experience. Short version: he was late turning in the final version of his article, so the Law Review insisted they would publish the earlier version, over his objections! There are other twists and turns in this saga, but the student editors did not handle the situation properly. They can certainly reject an article that is not revised by the deadline, but they have no right to publish something the author does not want published.
UPDATE: On Twitter, Professor Kerr (Berkeley) comes to the defense of the student editors.
