Submissions
Send articles, book reviews, notes and comments by email to: editor.dlj@dal.ca
1. Content
The DLJ accepts submissions from anywhere in the world, in either English or French, from academics, practitioners, judges, and students. Where possible, the DLJ prioritizes promising papers by emerging scholars. Submissions on any law-related topics are considered, but the DLJ generally does not publish articles devoted exclusively to the law of foreign countries.
2. Format
The DLJ does not have an absolute word length maximum, but in only exceptional cases will we accept articles in excess of 15,000 words. All citations should follow the most recent edition Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation. Please review our format guide for authors here and send submissions via email in MS Word format only.
3. Copyright & Exclusivity
Copyright for all published manuscripts remains with the author. We have an author agreement that is consistent with open access principles and based on Creative Commons BY 4.0 licensing. The text of the DLJ Blog is under the same CC BY 4.0 license. The DLJ does not accept papers under consideration by other journals.
4. Early Publication
The DLJ offers on-line publication of articles once we have completed our editorial process.
