UPCOMING ISSUES

At this time, the Journal is seeking submissions in the area of health law for its Spring 2010 issue.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING MANUSCRIPTS

The Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest (RJOLPI) welcomes submissions from practitioners, academics, and students in diverse areas, including humans rights law, civil rights, policy, social welfare, education law and other public interest areas.

RJOLPI strongly prefers that submissions be made directly through our website. However, we will accept submissions via ExpressO and LexOpus for authors' convenience.

Please include a resume or a curriculum vitae including a list of previous publications with the submission.

Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. Footnotes should conform to the 18th Edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. However, as an interdisciplinary journal, we are aware that authors in disciplines outside of law may be unfamiliar with the Bluebook system of citation. In such cases, authors should submit articles in the citation form with which they are most familiar. The Journal editors will work with authors to convert the cites to the Bluebook format.

RJOLPI carefully considers all manuscripts that it receives. Our selection process involves several steps: at least two student editors review every submission, most submissions proceed through a subcommittee process that includes editors from every level of the Journal, the subcommittee then makes a determination as to the accessibility of resources, issues of preemption and other significant publication issues.

Thank you for your interest in the Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest.
