The Editorial Board seeks academic legal articles from both undergraduate/postgraduate students, recent graduates and practitioners.
Ideal submissions are between 5,000 and 10,000 words in length, and should be submitted electronically. We publish articles from a
wide variety of legal fields, and are always interested in submissions that represent an original perspective, or discuss innovative occurrences.
It is essential that submitted articles have not been published previously.
Articles should be formatted in Microsoft Word, and submitted either by email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or by post:
UCD Law Review Editorial Board, School of Law, Roebuck Castle, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The University College Dublin Law Review house style of citation is OSCOLA 2010 (see http://www.law.ox.ac.uk/publications/oscola.php).
The deadline for submission to the Thirteenth Volume of the Review is March 29th 2013.
Late submissions may be considered at the discretion of the Editor.
All articles that are chosen for publication will be considered for The Most Outstanding Article Prize, which is accompanied by a monetary
award of €500.
Review Process
The UCD Law Review Editorial Board considers all submissions that reach us by our official deadline. All articles are reviewed anonymously
by the entirety of the Editorial Board, with a democratic vote deciding whether an article will proceed for further consideration. If an article
does proceed, it will be subject to several more stages of review, including an examination by our Faculty Advisors.
Due to the high volume of submissions that we receive, and the quality of material that we strive for, the review and selection process takes time.
The Editor of the Review will notify authors of the Board's decision by email.
