Submitting a Blog to LawSci Forum
LawSci Forum welcomes blog submissions that reflect a range of perspectives and engage with issues at the intersection of law, science, and technology. Blog posts undergo a streamlined editorial review process that differs from the more extensive review used for our print publications. Authors interested in contributing should email mjlst@umn.edu with either a complete draft or a substantive proposal outlining the topic and approach of the post. Submissions are generally around 1,000 words and use endnotes. Submissions should be made as Word Documents.
