Publication Policy

Academic Contribution

Articles should provide new insights and a broader perspective on legal issues by not limiting themselves to national laws alone, but by incorporating comparative and international legal frameworks. This allows readers students, researchers, and practitioners to understand how laws operate across different jurisdictions, how international standards are developed, and how they can inform national policy, practice, and further research.

Conformity to Journal Scope

The journal focuses exclusively on legal research. Articles from any area or discipline are welcome, provided they have a clear legal dimension or relevance. Submissions should demonstrate how the issue fits within the framework of law, including national, comparative, or international perspectives, even if the topic intersects with other fields.

Journal Standards

• Authors must provide complete and accurate bibliographic details for all sources cited.
• Use Bluebook (21st edition) style for footnotes, case laws, statutes, and articles.
• Ensure all references are properly formatted, consistent, and verifiable.
• No content should include false accusations or personal attacks.
• Avoid referencing only media reports as legal evidence.
• The manuscript must be original. Plagiarism detection software is used to check every paper.
• Once accepted, the journal has the right to republish or archive the work on any platform it chooses.

Archival Policy

All issues will be permanently archived on the journal's website. Archives will be systematically organized by year and issue for easy navigation and citation.
