Use when planning where and when to submit a law-review piece and how to handle an expedite, with The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) as a target. It covers multi-submission timing, season strategy, and YLJ's specific expedite rules; it does not run the final upload preflight (ylj-submission).

# Placement Strategy (ylj-placement-strategy)
Law-review placement is a **multi-submission market**: authors submit one near-final piece to many
reviews at once and use an offer from a lower-ranked journal to **expedite** review at higher-ranked
ones. This skill plans the campaign and the expedite — with the **YLJ-specific** rules, which diverge
from the generic model. It does not run the upload checklist (`ylj-submission`).
## When to trigger
- Deciding the submission slate and what tier to target alongside YLJ
- Timing the submission to a season (Feb–Mar main, Aug smaller)
- Holding an offer from another review and considering an expedite to YLJ
- Weighing whether the piece is YLJ-ready or belongs at a specialty/secondary review
