Submission to Journal

Journal Submission

Through 2008, JLSB was a print publication; beginning in 2009, an online supplementary "pocket part" accompanies the print volume. The JLSB print volume will continue to serve its mission of providing an important publication vehicle for academic scholarship based on substantive research relevant to business and law. The mission of the JLSB online supplement will be to provide publishing opportunities for authors producing pedagogical scholarship concerning law and business-related higher education outside of law school; the articles published in the JLSB online supplement comprise a significant resource for members of the Academy of Legal Studies in Business, members of ALSB regional affiliates, and others concerned with legal pedagogy.

Manuscripts

The Journal of Legal Studies in Business does not accept published manuscripts or those that will be published elsewhere. Manuscripts may be sent simultaneously to other journals on the condition that the author(s) undertake to inform the appropriate editor immediately if the work is to be published elsewhere.

All manuscripts and book reviews are to be sent electronically only to Carol M. Bast . If submitting for the Best Paper Award, the subject line in your email should read "SEALSB Best Paper Award." If submitting otherwise than for the best paper award, the subject line in your email should read "JLSB manuscript submission."

Copy

All copy, including footnotes and indented portions of both text and footnotes, must be at least double-spaced with wide margins, using Microsoft Word. Because the Journal uses blind reviewing, the manuscript must not identify the author. However, the manuscript's first page should include the title of the piece. The author's or authors' name(s), institutional affiliation(s), address(es) and phone number(s) should appear on either the cover letter accompanying the manuscript or on a removable title page. All footnotes should be in compliance with the style and typeface rules stated in the latest edition of A Uniform System of Citation (the "Bluebook"). The author is primarily responsible for compliance with this system of citation and for the accuracy of the notes.

Authors of manuscripts accepted for publication will be responsible for providing a final electronic version formatted according to Journal guidelines.

Tables and Figures

Tables, figures and/or charts will be placed at the end of the manuscript as Appendices. They should contain an explanatory heading and, if appropriate, should show the source at the bottom. Authors must provide a final electronic version of Appendices formatted according to Journal guidelines.

Action

Consideration of the manuscript is normally complete within eight to twelve weeks of their receipt. Accepted manuscripts will normally be published within six to twelve months of their acceptance.
