The Columbia Undergraduate Law Review, a journal of undergraduate legal scholarship based at Columbia University in the City of New York, is accepting submissions for its Spring 2011 issue. The deadline for submissions is Monday, January 31, 2011 at 11:59 p.m., but we encourage you to submit well before that deadline. In recognition of the various paths undergraduates may take to study law, we welcome submission of research articles, senior theses, and essays embracing a wide range of topics and viewpoints related to the field of law. Undergraduate students in any major, track, or class year should thus feel free to send us their work. Check out www.culr.weebly.com to view past journals or to read our mission statement.
Submissions should be double-spaced in Microsoft Word .doc format, follow the Chicago style, and include endnotes. Although we will consider submissions of any length, most papers published in the journal range from 20 to 25 pages. It would be highly appreciated if longer papers could be shortened to fit this page length recommendation before submission. In the document please also include the following information:
1) Your name
2) Current email address and phone number
3) Undergraduate college/university
4) Class year
5) Title
6) 250-word abstract
7) Short explanation of when and why paper was initially written
Because of the collaborative nature of our peer review editing process, all members of the editorial board read all submissions to the journal. Kindly forward submissions to my email address, LMC2176@columbia.edu, so that I may pass them on to the board. Please do not hesitate to contact me at this address with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Leena Charlton
