TEXAS JOURNAL OF WOMEN AND THE LAW submission Information

Authors Journal Members Subscriptions Advertising News and Alumni TJWL Conventions Home

We welcome the unsolicited submission of articles from scholars, practitioners, businesspeople, government officials, judges, and students on topics relating to recent developments in the law affecting women.

In addition to articles, the Journal also invites authors to submit shorter works, such as book reviews, commentaries, essays, notes, comments, and bibliographies.

All submissions are reviewed throughout the year on a rolling basis, and all journal members are invited to participate in the selection process. Submissions are evaluated based on their contribution to feminist legal scholarship as well as on the style and technical writing of the piece. The Journal seeks to provide authors with timely responses; however, the Journal will sometimes hold articles for consideration in a future publication unless the Journal is notified of a withdrawal.

Please send submissions, accompanied by a curriculum vitae and a cover letter, to the attention of the Submissions Director.
All submissions MUST be electronic, in Microsoft Word format. Please email your submission to the Journal at tjwl@mail.law.utexas.edu. As is the standard practice of publications in the United States, the Journal will hold copy-rights

Requirements:

• All submissions must be electronic, in Microsoft Word format
• Manuscripts must conform with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (17th ed. 2000), published by the Harvard Law Review Association.
• Pieces should also follow The Chicago Manual of Style (14th ed. 1993).
• Manuscripts should be typewritten, double-spaced, and footnoted where necessary.
• Citations must be in footnote rather than in endnote form and should be written using the automatic footnote tool of Microsoft Word.

• Article submissions should be between 30 and 80 pages long; longer submissions may be considered.
• Submissions should provide a new and useful perspective on feminist legal scholarship.
