Timeline and Procedure

We accept contributions to the Blog on a rolling basis. We strive to ensure a speedy and efficient review process. We follow a system of two rounds of review by the Editorial Board for publication in the Blog. Authors should be prepared to make suitable changes to their articles as required by the Editorial Board before publication.

​

Conditions of Publication

Please note that submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned or rejected. While we strive to provide substantive feedback for every submission we receive, it may not always be possible to do so, given the large number of submissions. We reserve the right to reject submissions without providing substantive feedback.

​

Please note that, in the event that a contribution submitted to the Blog has been submitted and accepted by any other Journal or online platform, the author must withdraw their contribution from PoliLegal. If we accepts the contribution first, the author must withdraw it from all other Journals and online platforms. Failure to do so will lead to removal of the piece from consideration for publication in the PoliLegal Blog.

 

Please note that PoliLegal does allow cross-posting of articles but after due permission of the board.
