About the journal
Law and Literature, published tri-annually and edited by faculty of the Cardozo School of Law and a board of international scholars, is one of only two journals in the country entirely focused on the interdisciplinary movement known as Law and Literature. The movement, which extols law-related literature and the literary value of legal documents, provides a unique perspective on how law and literature are mutually enlightening.
Issues in private law and public law, restrictions on creative expression, gender and racial bias, hermeneutics (interpretive methodologies), and legal themes in works of literature are among the journal's regular topics

Instructions to Authors
Guidelines
In preparing material for submission to Law and Literature bear in mind that the journal is a scholarly periodical aimed at a diverse disciplinary audience. Submissions will ideally therefore fit within the rubric of scholarship within the humanities and should be accessible to readers inside and outside of legal studies. The journal does not follow the law review style or length of submission but requests rather that contributors limit their articles and essays to under 10,000 words.
We welcome submissions in any area of interest to literary critics of law. Recent special issues have include Scientific Narratives and Law, The Death Penalty, and Satire and Law. Work that traces the interrelations of law with other disciplines is particularly welcome, as are submissions concerned with the influences of contemporary theory upon legal thought. Work on race theory, gender and sexual orientation, aesthetics and legality are particularly welcome.
Submissions are discussed by the Editorial Committee and then sent out for independent review. Reviewers' reports are discussed by the committee and a decision is taken at a subsequent meeting or e-meeting of the committee.
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes or in-text referencing. Citation should follow MLA form, except for citation to legal documents, which should conform with the 17th edition of The Bluebook.
Submissions should be sent in a PC accessible mode by e-mail to the Managing Editor at Goodrich@yu.edu or by mail with accompanying diskette or CD to

Understanding copyright transfer
When your article is accepted for publication into one of the journals we publish, the Press asks you to sign an author agreement (download a sample agreement), which transfers your copyright to the Regents of the University of California or one of its publishing partners*.
The reason we ask you to transfer the copyright is simple:
As the administrator of your article's copyright, the Press ensures through managing the licensing and permissions process, that your scholarship will receive the widest possible distribution among educational audiences, and consequently, the greatest success of engaging in active scholarly discourse.
By comparison, if you were to retain your copyright, your article would be distributed only to those individuals and institutions subscribing to the journal. You would also be responsible for fielding and handling all subsequent inquiries for reproduction, which could potentially include numerous classroom photocopying requests by universities throughout the world, republication requests from publishers, abstracting and indexing requests, and subsidiary rights/content licensing agreement requests from content aggregators and archives.
The transfer of copyright to the Press is largely designed to allow you to focus on your research rather than on the clerical details associated with copyright ownership. The downside to this, as we understand, is not having complete control over the dissemination of your article. However, please be assured that the Press takes administration of your copyright and management of the associated rights very seriously. As a non-profit, scholarly publisher, University of California Press places the mission of the scholar and the Academy above all; we never will reproduce your article for any other purpose than to educate.
For a detailed map indicating where your article is distributed once published, please see our Journal Subsidiary Rights and Permissions Overview (PDF).

Using images, photos, music and other outside content to enhance your article
Before your article goes to press, you must clear the necessary reproduction rights for any images, photos, figures, music, or content credited to a third party that you wish to use (including content found on the Internet), which fall outside of the fair use provisions described in U.S. copyright law. Because University of California Press distributes and licenses your article widely in both print and electronic formats to libraries, journal subscribers, secondary publishers, and other educational organizations, we request that our authors seek nonexclusive, worldwide rights in all formats and media, for one-time use from the rights holder of the image, photo, musical score, etc. that you wish to reprint. (Click here to download a sample letter.) For detailed information, please see our Journal Copyright Guidelines for Authors:
Download the Press's Journal Copyright Guidelines for Authors (PDF). Once you have secured formal permission, please provide your journal's editor with all correspondence and supporting documentation for his/her records.
If you have questions regarding how to obtain permission for such third-party content, please find a brief list of reference websites and resources that will help you not only to license content easily and efficiently, but also to navigate the complex world of fair use, public domain, and copyright law:

Promoting your scholarship
Caliber
http://caliber.ucpress.net
Scholarly communication has changed dramatically over the past several years and electronic access to scholarship is now a necessity for scholars, researchers, and students in any field. In order to meet the needs of our authors in this changing environment, University of California Press has created a new online journals hosting platform-Caliber. Most journals published by the Press are now available on Caliber.
Caliber is a fully integrated information resource designed to meet the needs of students and scholars as they conduct research and access scholarly information in an online environment. Caliber adds functionality to your work, giving readers powerful search capabilities, integrated cross-referencing that automatically updates, and the ability to save articles for offline viewing. As an author, you can let people know how to access your article by providing them with its unique Caliber address (URL). If they aren't subscribers or accessing the service from a subscribing institution, they can read your article's abstract for free, purchase the article, or subscribe to the print edition of the journal.
Handling permissions requests
UC Press Rights and Permissions Home http://www.ucpressjournals.com/reprintInfo.asp
Once your work is published, you may receive occasional requests from editors and authors wishing to reprint your article in books, journals, newspapers, and other publications, as well as on CD-ROM, secured educational websites, and in email.
If you receive such requests and approve of them, please direct the requestors to Caliber, where they may request permission electronically through Rightslink? an automated reprints and permissions service of the Copyright Clearance Center (http://www.copyright.com). [We advise against sending permissions requests to your editorial office for review.]
The Rightslink diamond designates those articles available for permission:
Reprints & Permissions
If your article is not available online through University of California Press, please have the editor or publisher of the new work contact the Press's Permissions Administrator at journalspermissions@ucpress.edu.
And finally, if you are the author or editor of the publication in which you would like to reprint your article, you may do so freely without formal permission from the Press. We ask only that you reference fully the original article in conjunction with its use (i.e. in a copyright line or footnote). For example:
Article originally published as Lesieur, Henry R. and Joseph F. Sheley, "Illegal Appended Enterprises: Selling the Lines," Social Problems, Vol. 34, No. 3 (June 1987): 249-260. ?1987 by The Society for the Study of Social Problems.
NOTICE: If you have obtained special concessions to retain your copyright, there's no need to inform the Press of the permissions requests that you receive.
Requesting reprints
UC Press Rights and Permissions Home http://www.ucpressjournals.com./reprintInfo.asp
Requesting reprints (offprints, or printer-generated paper copies of your article) is now easier than ever. UC Press's partnership with Rightslink? an automated reprints and permissions service of the Copyright Clearance Center (http://www.copyright.com), allows you to order reprints of your article directly through Caliber.
If you would like reprints, click on the Rightslink diamond next to your article in the Table of Contents, or by its abstract:
Reprints & Permissions
The icon will open the Rightslink order entry page, in which you will be prompted to create an account, fill out the online form, and place your order. With Rightslink you can pay by credit card and monitor your account online at any time or any location.
Posting articles to institutional or subject repositories
In response to the evolving nature of scholarly exchange and collaboration, University of California Press allows its authors to post preprints and postprints on authors' personal websites, and within institutional repositories.
Posting Requirements:
To deter misuse of your article and to ensure citation consistency when posting preprints and postprints, we kindly ask that you adhere to the following requirements:
Preprints: If you deposit an unedited "working paper" or preprint to a website, you must clearly state on the site that your article has been accepted for publication in [your journal's name] and note where (in Caliber) and when it will be published.
Postprints: Once your article is published, you must remove the preprint from the site and replace it with a postprint. You may use the Publisher-generated PDF, and you must display the following Publisher's Statement in tandem with posting:
"Published as [provide complete bibliographic citation, as appears in the print version of your journal]. ?[Year] by [the Regents of the University of California/Sponsoring Society or Association]. Copying and permissions notice: Authorization to copy this content beyond fair use (as specified in Sections 107 and 108 of the U. S. Copyright Law) for internal or personal use, or the internal or personal use of specific clients, is granted by [the Regents of the University of California/on behalf of the Sponsoring Society] for libraries and other users, provided that they are registered with and pay the specified fee via Rightslink?on [Caliber (http://caliber.ucpress.net/)] or directly with the Copyright Clearance Center, http://www.copyright.com."
Funding-body archives: For deposits to PubMed Central and other funding-body archives, please be aware that University of California Press asks that you post no sooner than 6 months after final publication.
NOTICE: If your article is not available online, you may scan your article from the paper edition of your journal and post a PDF copy online as per the guidelines above.
