The Michigan Journal of Gender & Law accepts a variety of written works. We are interested in both traditional and non-traditional pieces that explore gender issues in the law. Written pieces may include, but are not limited to, traditional law journal articles, book reviews, briefs or other legal documents, speeches, critiques, poetry and fiction pieces.
The goal of the Michigan Journal of Gender & Law is to provide a forum for diverse voices. The Journal wishes to promote equal recognition of all authors and encourage the publication of pieces based on diverse experiences and viewpoints. In keeping with this goal, the Journal is committed to publishing the works of activists, students, practitioners, and others, as well as traditional academics. Published pieces are not distinguished on the basis of the author's educational and/or occupational background.
We encourage the submission of unsolicited manuscripts for publication. Citations may be either in footnote or endnote form. Citations should generally conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed., 2005). English usage should generally conform to The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed. 2003).
Submissions may be sent via e-mail or hard copy, but we do request inclusion of the electronic document with physical submissions; our preferred format is Microsoft Word XP. To submit a written work electronically, please e-mail it as an attachment to: MJGL-submissions@umich.edu. In the case of printed manuscripts, such submissions should be double- or triple-spaced, and accompanied by a copy of the word processed file (data CD preferred). We regret that we can return only those manuscripts for which we receive postage and handling fees. All submissions will receive an acknowledgement via e-mail.
