Call for Submissions
Submissions are welcome from undergraduates at any institution. Co-authored works are acceptable as long as each author is an undergraduate. If you are working with a graduate student or professor on your research, it is imperative that you speak with them prior to submitting work to this journal. You must clear any conflict of interest prior to submission since some graduate students/professors may intend to submit that same research for publication. Submissions must be original content not published or undergoing review elsewhere. Lady Justice Journal also requires that the authors be willing to work with journal editors in revising selected submissions through a two-round review process. The journal accepts research papers, literature reviews, law/court reviews, creative pieces, and op-eds. Authors are encouraged to submit to the journal multiple times. The journal does not accept manuscripts in languages other than English at this time.
