The mission of the Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics & Public Policy is to explore the legal, ethical, and policy considerations of each topic within the framework of the Judeo-Christian intellectual and moral tradition. Thus, we seek to publish authors who embrace this tradition.
For Volume 41, the Journal will be publishing a general issue, a symposium issue, and a special symposium issue. We are currently accepting submissions for our general issue. Details concerning our symposium and special symposium issues are forthcoming.
The Journal welcomes submissions via Scholastica or by email (ndjlepp@nd.edu). Manuscripts should be accompanied by abstracts. Text and footnotes should conform to The Bluebook (22nd ed.) and The Chicago Manual of Style (18th ed.).
The Journal prefers full-length articles, accepting submissions in the range of 15,000 to 30,000 words, footnotes included, for our print issue. The online version of the Journal considers shorter essays that do not meet the length requirements for the print edition. This includes our standard Online Supplement, which publishes pieces between the range of 5,000 and 15,000 words, while works under 5,000 words may be considered for our blog.
We welcome work from academics, legal practitioners, judges, and policymakers alike, but we generally do not publish work from current students at other law schools in our print issues. Please submit your article in .doc or .docx format. Please do not submit works that have already been published.
If you have any questions regarding a submission, we invite you to contact us.
