Articles: Authors interested in publishing an article in the Canadian Journal of Law and Society should submit an electronic version of their manuscript. The text should not exceed 30 pages (8,000 words), double-spaced, including notes and appendices, and should present an abstract. In order to facilitate double-blind peer review, the manuscript needs to be anonymized. For citation purposes, the Journal has adopted the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (7th edition) published by Carswell.

Each manuscript is first read by the Editor to determine its admissibility. It is then submitted anonymously to at least three external reviewers, from different disciplines, whose reports are taken into consideration by the Editor in the decision and the modifications eventually asked for. The referees' reports, which also remain anonymous, are transmitted to the author together with the editorial decision. Once the manuscript is accepted, the author should send to the Journal the final version of the article, following the editorial guidelines. The Journal does not evaluate or publish articles that have been submitted concurrently to other journals or have already been published. Please email your article manuscripts as email attachments (MS Word) to: CJLS_RCDS@carleton.ca.

Book Reviews: The Canadian Journal of Law and Society publishes concise book reviews (about 750 words in length). They introduce, discuss, and evaluate the book in question. Book reviews are commissioned and evaluated by the Book Review Editor.
