About the journal
Description:
Social & Legal Studies is a leading international journal, publishing progressive, interdisciplinary and critical approaches to socio-legal study. The journal is committed to feminist, post-colonial and socialist economic perspectives to the study of law. It offers an intellectual space where diverse traditions and critical approaches within legal study meet, and aims to promote greater understanding of work being carried out in less academically dominant countries.
Recently, in additon to it's review section the journal has developed an innovative Debates & Dialogue section which allows more direct and immediate engagement between authors.
"it is clear that the editors have worked hard to achieve their aims... However, the value of this journal goes beyond achieving these goals. Its real value lies in the quality, level, and kind of material being published within it." - Times Higher Education Supplement

Instructions to Authors
1. Papers should preferably be written in English, although foreign language papers will be considered. Papers should not have been published already, nor be currently under consideration elsewhere. All papers are refereed.
2. Please make sure that no information which identifies the author is contained in the article. Each article should be sent with the following information contained either in a separate file, or in the body of the accompanying email:
(a) title of paper, date and word count;
(b) authors full name, affiliation, institutional and email address, telephone and fax numbers;
(c) an abstract of 150 to 200 words;
(d) a list of 5 to 8 key words;
(e) confirmation that all authors have agreed to the submission and that
the article is not currently being considered for publication in any other journal.
3. Articles must be typed in double spacing throughout on one side of A4 or American Quarto paper with generous margins on all sides. All pages should be numbered. The maximum length should be 8000 words, including notes and references.
4. The typescript should be carefully checked for errors before it is submitted for publication. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of quotations, for supplying complete and correct references, and for obtaining permission where needed to cite another author's material.
5. Essential notes should be indicated by superscript numbers in the text, and presented at the end of the text before the references. Notes and references should be in double-spacing. Articles should have a maximum of ten notes. The first, unnumbered, note should include any acknowledgements and thanks.
6. Lengthy quotations (of more than 40 words) should be displayed, indented; shorter quotes should be retained within the body of the text, within quotation marks.
7. Tables should be presented on separate sheets of paper at the end of the article, and should carry short, descriptive titles. Figures should be of reproducible standard, clearly numbered, and accompanied by explanatory numbered captions typed on a separate sheet. The position of both tables and figures within the text should be clearly indicated.
8. Referencing. Use the Harvard-style system: surname and date cited in the text; with an alphabetically ordered end list, headed References, and typed double-spaced for ease of editing. Use the following style:
(a) Beatty, David M. (1990) Talking Heads and the Supremes: The Canadian Production of Constitutional Review. Toronto: Carswell.
(b) Bowles, Samuel and Herbert Gintis (1990) 'Democratic Demands and Radical Rights', Socialist Review 20: 57-72.

When citing a new edition of a previously published work, include both dates, e.g. Durkheim (1912/1976), in text and references.
9. Cases cited. Where appropriate, please supply a separate double-spaced list of cases cited.
10. Our spelling style is based on the Oxford English Dictionary and the guidelines laid down in Hart's Rules for Compositors (Oxford). We also endorse the guidelines provided by the American Psychological Association and the British Sociological Association for non-sexist and non-racist language.
11. Authors will be asked to provide a diskette containing the final version only of their paper following acceptance for publication. The author is responsible for ensuring that the final hard copy and diskette versions of the manuscript are identical.

13. Copyright. Before publication authors are requested to grant an exclusive publishing licence to SAGE Publications, which has the right to sub-license, subject to retaining their right to reuse the material in other publications written or edited by themselves and due to be published at least one year after initial publication in this journal.
