    Do you know of any academic journals that will accept submissions from academics after they have the following credentials?
    a) Associate degree
    b) Bachelor's degree

    Almost all of them. Their submission requirements are on their web pages. They rarely mention any requirements for author credentials. The requirements are focused on the research and formatting.

    There's also a set of specifically undergraduate journals, to provide a forum for undergraduate student research. Each journal in this set will make its own determination, but it might accept a submission from an undergraduate degree holder without a higher degree. (It likely will for a recent bachelor's graduate submitting work started during their own undergraduate period; it might or might not for a longer-past bachelor's graduate.)

    Law journals usually aren't even peer reviewed.

    Emphatically no! There are a few exceptions. The Georgetown University Tax Law Review is peer reviewed. Most U.S. Law Reviews are student edited and are not.

    I had no idea. I wonder what law academics think about this.

    There aren't any.

    Oh, that's not true. Certainly there are genuine legal academics in the United States. But consider: the basic PhD equivalent in U.S. law schools is the J.D. That's all the degree you need for a tenure track professorial appointment.

    Some have additional degrees in so-called "cognate" disciplines like history or philosophy or an MBA I suppose but most do not.

    A few have an LL.M. Most of these are tax professors.

    Neither the J.D. nor, in most cases, the tax LL.M. requires a dissertation or thesis.
