Submissions
The Penn Undergraduate Law Journal is now processing early submissions for its twenty-first 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 works written by students during their undergraduate studies. 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 pieces relate 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 classes since graduated, such as those from the class of 2022, may submit works written during their undergraduate years.
*Pieces may written 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 the following: history, criminology, economics, sociology, anthropology, English, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, psychology, and political science.
*Please note that senior theses should be submitted in their entirety; complete pieces are preferred to excerpts.
*Authors may submit more than one written work.
*Early submissions are highly encouraged.
*Pieces need not be written on United States law—they may be written on the laws or legal system of any country.
Twenty-First Issue Deadline: 11:59 PM on Sunday, September 3rd, 2023
