Peer review

Submissions are subject to blind peer review. The process, the criteria reviewers apply, and what authors can expect are set out in the author guidelines and the editing policy. The masthead lists the editorial board.

Access model

We would rather you knew this precisely than discovered it later. Abstracts, summaries, and complete citation metadata for every article are freely readable on this site with no sign-in. For works published in a bound issue, the complete text appears in that issue rather than on the site. A subset of pieces is published here in full.

Bound issues are listed on the volumes page. The Journal is also indexed in HeinOnline’s Law Journal Library and in JSTOR, which is where most institutional readers will reach the full text.

Discovery and metadata

The site is built so that library discovery layers, reference managers, and indexing services can read it without special handling:

Rights and licensing

Authors retain copyright. Articles are released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 licence (CC BY-NC) unless otherwise noted, so readers may share and adapt the work for non-commercial purposes with attribution.

Acquisitions and enquiries

For holdings questions, catalogue records, or anything not covered here, write to us through the contact form. If you maintain a research guide or subject list and think the Journal belongs on it, we would be glad to hear from you — and our own resources page lists centres and publications our editors read.
