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.

Generally, preference will be given to articles that do not exceed

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.

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.
