Guidelines for contributors.

We consider unsolicited submissions of articles, case comments, essays, and shorter pieces on current events. Work need not concern American law exclusively; comparative and international scholarship is welcome where it engages questions of broader theoretical or practical interest.

• Articles15,000–25,000 words, inclusive of footnotes
• Case Comments6,000–10,000 words
• Essays4,000–8,000 words
• Current Events1,500–3,000 words

All citations should conform to the most recent edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. Footnotes, not endnotes, are required. Authors writing in psychology should provide a parenthetical Bluebook citation in addition to the customary APA reference; the editors will assist with reconciliation during the editing process.

Submissions are reviewed under a double-blind protocol by at least two outside readers. Initial decisions—accept, revise and resubmit, or decline—are returned within eight weeks. Authors who require expedited review on the basis of an outstanding offer should so indicate in the cover letter.

Manuscripts should be submitted as Word documents, double-spaced, in a standard serif typeface. The author's name and affiliation should appear only in the cover letter; the manuscript itself should be prepared for blind review.

Questions regarding the suitability of a piece, expedited review, or symposium proposals may be directed to the editors using the form below.
