The USC Journal of Law and Society is pleased to announce a call for papers for its Fall 2014
issue.
Whether exploring the impact of corporate law on
international political institutions or the effects of patent law in an age of
online piracy, the USC Journal of Law and Society welcomes innovative discourse
regarding the law and society.
All undergraduates from any university, major, or program
are invited to submit research papers of at least 12 double-spaced pages in
length. Papers may have been completed for coursework, independent study, or
written specifically for the Journal.
We encourage students from a wide range of disciplines to submit papers. Papers
should relate to an aspect of law and society in some manner, but need not have
these topics as the central theme.
The USC Journal for
Law and Society carefully considers all submissions that it receives. Our
selection process has many steps: each piece is reviewed anonymously by at
least two editors, then each piece moves on to a vote by the body of the
Journal. There is no “best” time to submit a paper to the Journal, as every
article will receive the same level of review.
Submissions
are due Friday, September 12, 2014. Please e-mail submissions to
uscjournal@gmail.com in Word format (.doc or .docx). Please include a cover
page with the title of your paper, your full name, your contact information
(cell phone number and e- mail address), the name of your university, your
major(s), expected year of graduation, and a 4-6 sentence abstract. Please
note that by submitting a paper, authors commit to working with the Journal’s
staff to edit and prepare the paper in February and March for publication if
the paper is selected.
Please contact the Journal
at uscjournal@gmail.com with any
questions.
