Submission Guidelines

Articles. Articles are the feature pieces of each part of the journal. These provide a detailed, if not seminal, analysis of the topic under discussion. Articles should not exceed 6000 words (this number excludes references). Special permission will have to be sought from the editors to consider pieces longer than this, and this permission will not lightly be granted. All references in articles must be footnoted. Each article must be accompanied by an abstract of not more than 200 words. The abstract should summarize rather than introduce the argument of the article, and should contain appropriate key words.

1. Notes. Notes are shorter, more focused pieces. Traditionally, many notes are case notes which analyse a particular recent judgment (or judgments) of the courts. However, notes can discuss any specific issue of legal interest, and are not constrained to case notes. Notes should be between 3 000 and 8 000 words long. Notes longer than this will, regrettably, not be accepted. Notes do not require an abstract. All references in notes are to be placed in-text, and in brackets.

2. Book reviews. Book reviews are critical discussions of scholarly books on any topic related to law. These should be between 2 000 and 5 000 words long.
   References are in-text, in brackets.

A manuscript will be considered for publication only on the assurance that it has not in whole or in part or in substance been published or offered for publication elsewhere; on the understanding that it may be submitted in confidence to at least two expert referees for evaluation; and on the understanding that the editors reserve the right to make what changes they consider desirable:

a) to bring the manuscript into the house style of the Journal of Corporate and Commercial Law & Practice;

b) to eliminate errors of typing, grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, idiom and the like;

c) to eliminate ambiguity, illogicality, tautology, circumlocution and redundancy;

d) to produce accuracy and coherence; and

e) to improve the mode of expression and style of writing

Authors are required to read their manuscripts carefully to avoid the need for the editors to exercise these rights extensively.

NOTE: Regrettably, manuscripts that do not accord with the house style of will be returned to authors immediately, with a request that the manuscript be placed, to the best of the authors’ ability, in house style. The quality of the piece will normally not be assessed before this has occurred.

Kindly use APA or OSCOLA referencing styles.
