Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • You have completely anonymized your submission by removing your name or any other individual indicators from the article text.

Author Guidelines

  • Maximum of 3,000- 3,500 words, or about 12-14 pages.
  • Cited using Chicago-Manual Style with footnotes.
  • The piece should be well-researched and original work.
  • Must be a law related topic

What We Look For: To maintain the doctrinal rigor and intellectual integrity, all submissions must engage in substantive legal analysis rather than tangentially referencing legal frameworks. A topic is considered "law-related" when it interrogates legal principles, jurisprudence, statutory and regulatory mechanisms, or the intersection of law with governance, policy, or social order. Papers are expected to present an original argument that uses law, litigation, or jurisprudence as a major source of evidence, Note: We advise all those interested in submitting to view our previous issues. This will give the best illustration of what we look for in papers that are submitted to us.

Selection Process: Our selection process is rigorous and multi-tiered: each submission undergoes an anonymous review, with at least ten editors evaluating its merit before the final decision is made collectively by the entire editorial board.
