Submission Requirements:

  • Submissions should be selected from your upper-division courses or independent studies.
  • Papers must be a minimum of 5 pages and include an abstract.
  • Submissions must follow the Chicago style of formatting.
  • While ideal papers should relate, at least tangentially, to the journal's theme, we welcome papers on any policy or legal subject.
  • Papers must not have been published elsewhere.

Deadline: December 20th, 2024

Interested students should complete the application form linked here. The application link can also be found in our Instagram bio. Applicants will be contacted about the status of their submission in early February 2025.
