Hola Lawphorics,
Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this platform more useful for law students. Every contribution helps keep Lawphoria current, rigorous, and relevant — and we’re glad you’re here.
If you’d like to write for us, please read the guidelines below before submitting.
What we’re looking for
- Any area of law. Browse our subject areas for a sense of the ground we cover but we welcome pieces on any legal field.
- A strong legal analysis. Articles may be built around current events, but they must go beyond reporting: give us reasoned argument, doctrine, and authority.
- A novel element. Submissions should be contemporarily relevant, well-structured, analytical or argumentative, and should say something that hasn’t already been said a dozen times.
- Original, unpublished work. The piece must be your own and must not be under review anywhere else.
Formatting
| Format | .docx, attached to your email |
| Length | 1,700–3,000 words (flexible for exceptional pieces) |
| Typography | Times New Roman, 12 pt, 1.5 line spacing, justified |
| Language | British English |
| Citations | Endnotes only — not footnotes |
| Co-authors | Maximum of two |
What to include in your email
Send your submission to [email protected] with the subject line “Post Submission”, and include the following in the body of the email:
- Full name(s) of the author(s)
- Title of the article
- Institutional or professional affiliation
- Occupation / designation
- Contact number and email address
- A line confirming that you accept the Contributor Agreement below
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis.
Review process
- Every submission is first screened for plagiarism and AI-generated content. Anything that fails this screen is disqualified before editorial review.
- Submissions that clear the screen are reviewed by our editorial board.
- We’ll email you within 7 days of submission. If you don’t hear from us in that window, the piece did not make it through, and you’re free to submit it elsewhere.
- If your piece is accepted, we may ask for revisions. Contributors are expected to work with the editorial team to incorporate these before publication.
- On all disputes, the decision of the Editorial Board is final and binding.
Contributor Agreement
By submitting, you affirm and agree that:
- The work is original and yours. We have a zero-tolerance policy on plagiarism and AI-generated content.
- You will not submit it elsewhere while it is under review with us (a period of up to 7 days).
- On acceptance, all intellectual property rights in the work vest with Lawphoria.
What you get
- Publication on the Lawphoria website, with full credit to you at the foot of the article.
- Consistent, quality contributors are invited to join as designated writers for Lawphoria.
- Writers who publish 30 or more posts get a custom author page with links to their social profiles.
