Submissions
The Penn Undergraduate Law Journal is now processing submissions for its thirteenth issue.
The Penn Undergraduate Law Journal is always looking to showcase the work of talented and passionate writers. Please read below for qualifications, requirements, and an explanation of the submission process.
Qualifications:
As an undergraduate publication, PULJ will only accept written works by undergraduate students. We accept a wide array of submission types, including, but not limited to: research papers, senior theses, and independent projects or studies. Given the interdisciplinary focus of our publication, students in any field of study are welcome to submit their work, so long as their piece relates to law or the legal system. If you are unsure whether your piece qualifies, we encourage you to submit it anyway. To ensure our selection process is equitable, all submissions are carefully considered and thoroughly reviewed by our editors in a three-tiered editing process. Please note that students may submit more than one written work.
Important Guidelines
*Pieces must be 20 to 100+ double-spaced pages in length, not including citations and works cited.
*Authors from the classes of 2017, 2018 and 2019 may submit works written during their undergraduate years.
*Papers may be from any disciplinary perspective, so long as it relates to the law or legal system. Possible disciplinary perspectives include, but are not limited to: History, Criminology, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, English, Biology, Neuroscience, Philosophy, Linguistics, Psychology, and Political Science.
*Please note: Senior theses should be submitted in their entirety; we prefer completed pieces to excerpts.
*Authors may submit more than one written work.
*Early submissions are highly encouraged.
* Papers need not be on American law -- they can be on the laws or legal system of any country.
Thirteenth Issue Deadline: 11:59 PM on Sunday, September 8th, 2019
