Submission Categories
- CASE COMMENTS: A case comment allows the author to critique any recent/landmark judicial pronouncement, legislation, or pending bill. The word limit for a case comment is 1,500-2,500 words.
- SHORT ARTICLES: An essay challenges existing paradigms/norms and provides a fresh outlook on common problems. It is strongly recommended that essays be considerably more concise than articles, in terms of scope and conceptualization. A short article must thus ideally be between 2,000-4,000 words.
- LONG ARTICLES: An article must comprehensively analyze the issue that the author seeks to highlight. It must contain a rigorous study of the status quo or a contemporary issue in any area of Law. A long article should be between 4,000-10,000 words.
- BOOK REVIEWS: The book review must be written in a concise manner. The word limit for a book review is 1000-2,000 words.
