Submissions

We are currently receiving submissions for Volume 32 (2023-24).  Thank you for your interest in the Tulane Journal of International and Comparative Law.

The Tulane Journal of International and Comparative Law publishes works by leading academics, practitioners, and judges from around the world on a wide variety of topics of international and comparative law. In order to promote a diverse range of topics, ideas, and opinions, the Journal imposes few restrictions on the submissions, asking only that when considering length, potential authors abide by the Harvard New Articles Length Policy.

The Tulane Journal of International and Comparative Law welcomes scholarly articles from legal academics and professionals alike. We publish bianually and take into consideration the following criteria when evaluating article submissions. Each article should be submitted in Times New Roman, 12 point font, with one-inch margins. The Journal has a preference for articles of fewer than 35,000 words (or roughly 70 law review pages), inlcuding footnotes. Longer articles may be published in noteworthy circumstances. The submissions should be in Bluebook format, 21st edition, with substantial support and analysis.

The Journal also welcomes shorter essays and opinion pieces. While the Journal prefers articles that are primarily legal in scope, multi-disciplinary articles are welcome as well. Unfortunately, we do not accept student pieces. Preference will be given to articles written in English, although submissions in other languages are accepted.

Please submit all articles to Scholastica or jicl@tulane.edu. Although article submissions are welcome at any time, the two annual publication windows where we actively review and select articles are March 1st–August 10th and October 1st–January 5th.

License Agreement

As a condition of acceptance, the authors of all articles offered publication will be subject to the Journal's license agreement.
