Submissions

UC Law Business Journal (“UCLBJ”) carefully considers manuscripts written by members of the legal community on any subject related to business law and tax law. We no longer accept submissions by postal service. UCLBJ also welcomes formal or informal essays and comments for online publishing, to be posted alongside the online summary of the piece being responded to. Submissions for online publishing will also be considered for the next print issue at the discretion of the articles editor.

Print Submissions

Format: All submissions should be (1) in word document form; (2) in Times New Roman double-spaced (except footnotes) 12-point font (10-point for footnotes); (3) accompanied by a cover letter and curriculum vitae; and (4) conformed to the latest version of The Bluebook.
Length: UCLBJ is committed to publishing work that is concise and readable. We strongly encourage submissions of fewer than 25,000 words, including footnotes. For submissions that exceed this limitation, length will be a factor that weighs against acceptance of the manuscript unless extra length appears warranted and necessary.
**Expedited Review:**In the event an author is presented with a deadline from another publication, please request expedited review of your submission via your author submission account. We will make every effort to accommodate the request. Expedited review, however, provides your piece with no competitive advantage in our process.
