In reviewing the manuscripts, the Journal considers many factors, all of which contribute to our decision of whether or not to send a publication offer. Generally, however, the Journal looks for: a timely and relevant legal issue, problem and solution discussed, style, uniqueness of argument, quality of research, author credentials, and initial quality of submission (minimal citation and grammatical errors, though submissions by foreign authors are treated more leniently in this regard).
