The print Journal welcomes the submission of unsolicited articles, essays, or book reviews. Manuscript lengths of approximately15,000 to 25,000 words (including footnotes) are preferred for print publication. Submissions must be typed and double-spaced with footnotes rather than endnotes. Citations should generally conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (22nd ed.). The author’s resume or a brief biographical statement should accompany the manuscript. Cover letters are also welcome, but not required.
We do not consider manuscripts written by current law students who are not students at the University of Kentucky College of Law.
We will also consider manuscripts to be published on our website, Kentucky Law Journal Online. Typically, online articles are 5,000 words or less, do not exceed 60 footnotes, and conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (22nd ed.). Please recognize the word and footnote limitations as guidelines rather than strict rules. We accept submissions for online articles throughout the year. Please indicate in your cover letter if you would like our Editorial Board to consider your manuscript for publication online.
