1. Articles must be submitted either by
email to the Editor-in-Chief here or
on a floppy disk. All formats are acceptable, except Macintosh.
2. Titles to articles should be centered
on the first line of text, two lines of space should follow, then
the author’s name(s) should appear on the next line. As an
example:
Title
of Article
Author's
Name(s)
3. A short, no more than two sentence,
bio for the author(s) should appear as an endnote. If other endnotes
are used, the bio should be the first endnote.
4. Double spacing of text is preferred,
with one and one-half inch left/right margins and one inch top/bottom
margins (either legal or standard letter size paper will be accepted).
The right margin can be justified or unjustified.
5. Standard "courier" typeface
(or font) is preferred.
6. Headings should appear in boldface
type, or should be underscored. If an outline format is used in the
headings, use I., A., 1., (a), (i) consistently.
7. Lengthy quotes or extracts can be single
spaced and should be indented from the main body of the text using
a 5-character indent on the left, full measure on the right.
8. Extensive use of footnotes is discouraged.
However, to the extent that an author relies on materials, cases,
statutes, etc., appropriate footnotes should be used. Footnotes should
be double spaced and should appear at the end of each paper as endnotes.
All citations should be in Harvard "blue book" form and
set forth in the footnotes, not in the text. Cases in footnotes should
not be underlined.
9. The author should include URL addresses
for all of the cases, statutes and other legal authorities referenced
in the article.
10. Articles should be clear, concise
and can be as short as 300 to 400 words (or two pages double spaced)
but generally not more than 1,500 words (or one to five pages double
spaced).
11. The board of editors reserves the
right to reject any submissions and to edit all submissions accepted
for publication.
12. After an article has been accepted
for publication and has been edited by the board of editors, the
Association of the Bar conducts a final editorial review and reserves
the right to reject articles which have been accepted for publication
by the board of editors or to impose further changes.
13. All articles should be objective and
should not contain the personal views and opinions of the author.
