Submission Guidelines
Articles:
Authors interested in publishing an article in the Canadian Journal
of Law and Society should submit an electronic version or four paper
copies of their manuscript. The text should not exceed 35 pages
(10,000 words), double-spaced, including notes and appendices, and
should present an abstract. For citation purposes, the Journal has
adopted the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (5th edition)
published by Carswell.
Each
manuscript is first read by the Editor to determine its admissibility.
It is then submitted anonymously to at least three external reviewers,
from different disciplines, whose reports are taken into consideration
by the Editor in the decision and the modifications eventually asked
for. The referees' reports, which also remain anonymous, are transmitted
to the author together with the editorial decision. The evaluation
procedure takes at least four months. Once the manuscript is accepted,
the author should send to the Journal the final version of the article,
following the editorial guidelines; the article can be sent on CD,
disk or as e-mail attachment, in any case along with a paper copy.
Please note that the Journal does not accept to evaluate nor to
publish articles that have been submitted concurrently to other
journals or have already been published. Submitted manuscripts are
not returned to the authors.
The
Journal publishes two issues per year. Some are thematic.
Book
Reviews: The Canadian Journal of Law and Society carries three
sorts of book reviews: Book Notes are short (under one page in print)
and largely descriptive; Book Reviews are of moderate length (under
four pages), largely confined to a discussion of the book in question,
though with some analytical content and a relatively developed critique;
Review Essays are longer (ten pages or more) and involve a more
extended analysis as well as an attempt to locate the book in the
broader context of the extant literature. They approach the essay/short
article, albeit with a focus on a particular book or books.
Book
reviews and book notes are evaluated by the Book Review Editor.
Review essays under 20 pages are accepted on the decision of two
members of the Editorial Board. Longer review essays follow the
normal refereeing process.
