Submit to ELQ

The ELQ Editorial Board welcomes articles for review and publication consideration. ELQ publishes articles and book reviews written by law professors, practitioners, and professionals outside the legal community. ELQ also strongly supports student scholarship and often publishes exceptional pieces written by JD and advanced degree law students.

Submission Requirements

For all submissions, we require that you submit: (1) your manuscript, (2) a cover letter
or email describing the topic of your article or note, and (3) a CV or resume. Be sure to
indicate your preferred email address, phone number, mailing address, and include any
time restrictions for a response.

Format

The manuscript should be typed, double-spaced, in its completed form, and submitted
electronically in MS Word or PDF format. Allow at least 1.25 inch margins and number
pages consecutively throughout the paper. Number footnotes serially to correspond to
the text. Include an abstract at the beginning of the text. Include on the title page the full
name of the author, academic and other professional affiliations, and the complete
address to which proofs and correspondences should be sent.

Please follow The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (20th ed. 2015) and The
Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed. 2017).

Please indicate in your submission cover letter or email whether ELQ should consider
your piece as an Article (researched and written after receiving your J.D.), a
Comment/Note (if you researched and wrote all or a substantial portion of the piece
before receiving a J.D.), an Essay, or a Book Review.

Only unpublished manuscripts will be considered for publication. If any part of the paper
has been published previously, or is to be published elsewhere, the author must include
this information at the time of submission.

ELQ also accepts submissions for publication in its online publication, Ecology Law Currents. Please view the submission requirements for Currents submissions.
