Canadian Journal Of Law and Jurisprudence

 

Editor: Professor Richard Bronaugh
Associate Editor: Professor Barry Hoffmaster

The Canadian Journal of Law & Jurisprudence is published biannually. Each issue typically contains eight to ten pieces; the target for each issue is 250 pages. Although the Journal is pleased to publish essays addressing highly general and abstract issues of legal and political thought, preference is often given to those essays that are directed to somewhat more concrete legal matters and do so in a philosophical way. We have no set length limitations, though articles exceeding 14,000 words must be justified by remarkable quality.

In the past our practice was to publish one special guest-edited issue every second or third issue. We no longer have plans for that. As a result, more space is available for open submissions. The 1997 special issue Carl Schmitt, edited by David Dyzenhaus, was picked up for separate publication by Duke University Press and published under the title Law as Politics. Dennis Patterson's 1990 Wittgenstein and Legal Theory was also published as a book (with additional matter) by Westview Press.

The Journal will also often publish Critical Notices or Book Reviews; the former are substantial, titled articles about a recent book whereas the latter are briefer discussions (rarely exceeding four pages in the Journal—2000 words), also of recent books. If you would like write a Notice or Review please contact the editor and express your interest. The Journal does not do Case Notes.

Submitting Articles

Manuscripts by mail should be addressed to:
The Editor, Canadian Journal of Law & Jurisprudence
Faculty of Law, University of Western Ontario

We will receive articles by e-mail attachment. Please send in Word (preferred) to CJLJeds@uwo.ca or, with questions for the editor, rbronaug@uwo.ca

The Journal does not disallow multiple submissions (typically) from the USA, but the editors wish to be informed. We seek to respond within two months at most. Footnotes should conform to the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation/Manuel de la reference juridique. Authors who have access to a recent copy of the Journal will normally be able to determine the requirements of the McGill style as is present in any article. We now use the 6th edition of the McGill Canadian Guide.
