TREBILCOCK SYMPOSIUM ISSUE
Law, Economics and Public Policy: Essays in Honour of Michael Trebilcock (Spring 2010 issue)
ORDER NOW!

The University of Toronto Law Journal, founded in 1935, is the oldest university law journal in Canada. It continues to represent the broad and visionary approach to legal scholarship which was initially announced by W.P.M. Kennedy, the first editor of the Journal, when he ventured the hope that its publication would foster a knowledge of comparative laws ‘not merely as substantive or adjectival systems, but as expressions of organized human life, of ordered progress, and of social justice.’

The journal publishes the work of the most internationally well known scholars, not only in the law, but also in the broad range of disciplines relating to the law, such as economics, political science, philosophy, sociology, and history.

University of Toronto Law Journal is published quarterly by the University of Toronto Press with the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Department of Canadian Heritage through the Publications Assistance Program and the Canadian Magazine Fund.

Submission Guidelines -
Submissions:
Authors should submit their manuscripts in electronic form at utlj@utpress.utoronto.ca. Generally, preference will be given to articles that do not exceed 15,000 words in length. All contributions will be subject to a critical review before acceptance. Unless the editor is advised to the contrary, submission of an article to the journal will be taken as implying that the article is not being concurrently submitted elsewhere.

Writing Style: In general, the journal follows the recommendations of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (McGill Guide, 6th edition). Single quotations should be used, with double marks for quotations within quotes. Canadian spellings are preferred in accordance with the Oxford English Dictionary. For matters other than citations (e.g., grammar, punctuation, writing style), The Chicago Manual of Style is used as a reference guide.

Manuscript Preparation: Manuscripts should be typed and double-spaced, with wide margins. Authors should check references and quotations before submitting a manuscript and are responsible for obtaining permission to reprint extracts and reproduce illustrations. Copies of permission forms should be supplied with the final manuscript. All necessary credits and acknowledgements should be included in the figure legends.

The preferred word processing software is Microsoft Word, although most mainstream word-processing software may also be used. Use the tab key for paragraph indents (not the spacebar); avoid extra spaces at the ends of paragraphs, and use a hard return only when necessary to indicate the end of a paragraph. The electronic file should be prepared accurately, consistently, and simply, avoiding the use of special fonts or elaborate formatting for aesthetics. Paragraphs should be formatted the same way throughout. Digits for the numbers ‘1’ and ‘0’ and letters ‘I,’ ‘O,’ and ‘o’ should be used correctly and not interchangeably. Both text and footnotes should be double-spaced. Use your word processor's Notes function to create your footnotes.

Proofs: Once the final version of the manuscript has been submitted, changes in style and content may not be made. Only typographical errors may be corrected beyond this point.

Contributors of articles and review articles to the University of Toronto Law Journal will receive 25 free offprints.
