Submission guidelines:
- JTL requires exclusive submission. Consequently, we do not accept requests for expedited review. However, the Journal is committed to prompt review of all manuscripts and expects that, in most instances, manuscripts will be reviewed within a month of submission. Review of manuscripts from non-common-law jurisdictions may require additional time.
- JTL strongly prefers articles under 20,000 words in length, including text and footnotes/endnotes. JTL will not publish articles exceeding 30,000 words.
- Authors should submit their manuscripts through our online submissions system by clicking on Submit in the sidebar to the right.
- Footnotes should comply with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed. 2005), or with the Cambridge style.
