Share Your Legal Perspective

Law is not limited to judgments, statutes and textbooks. It shapes businesses, technology, institutions and everyday life.

We invite students, researchers, legal professionals and practitioners to contribute original articles and perspectives on contemporary legal developments, emerging areas of law and issues that deserve a closer look.

Whether you are analysing a recent judgment, exploring a developing area of law, or offering a thoughtful perspective on an issue, we want to hear from you.

PUBLISH

Who Can Submit?

We welcome submissions from:

  • Law students and recent graduates
  • Legal researchers and academics
  • Advocates and legal practitioners
  • In-house counsel and legal professionals
  • Professionals working at the intersection of law and other fields
  • Researchers and subject-matter experts

You do not need to be an expert in every aspect of the subject. A well-researched, clearly argued perspective matters more than credentials.

What Can You Write About?

Articles may cover any relevant legal subject, including but not limited to:

  • Recent judgments and their implications
  • Legislative and regulatory developments
  • Emerging areas of law
  • Constitutional and public law issues
  • Commercial and corporate developments
  • Technology, AI, cyber and data protection
  • Intellectual property
  • Taxation
  • Consumer and competition law
  • Employment and labour laws
  • Human rights and social justice
  • Environmental law
  • Property and land laws
  • Legal policy and governance
  • Interdisciplinary issues involving law
  • Contemporary legal issues affecting businesses or society

You may submit either a case-focused analysis or an independent legal perspective.

What Makes a Good Article?

We look for articles that do more than reproduce what a judgment or statute says.

A strong submission should ideally:

Have a clear point of view.
Tell the reader what the issue is and why it matters.

Go beyond summary.
If you are writing about a judgment, explain its implications, reasoning, limitations or unanswered questions instead of merely reproducing the facts and holding.

Be relevant.
Connect the law to its practical, social, commercial or institutional consequences wherever appropriate.

Be well researched.
Support legal propositions with appropriate primary and secondary sources.

Be readable.
Use clear language and a logical structure. Legal writing need not be unnecessarily complicated to be rigorous.

Add something to the conversation.
A fresh argument, useful analysis, overlooked implication, comparison, critique or practical perspective is encouraged.

If You Are Writing About a Judgment

A case note is welcome, but a judgment should not simply be rewritten in article form.

Consider asking:

  • What does this judgment actually change?
  • Who is affected by it?
  • Why should a non-lawyer care?
  • Does the judgment leave any questions unanswered?
  • How does it fit with existing law?
  • Does it create a new interpretation or merely reaffirm an existing principle?
  • What could be its practical consequences?
  • Do you agree with the Court’s reasoning? Why or why not?

Your analysis and perspective are welcome, but clearly distinguish your opinion from what the Court has actually held.

Originality

Submissions must be original and written by the submitting author.

Please do not submit:

  • Articles copied from other publications
  • Plagiarised material
  • AI-generated material presented as original human analysis
  • Content that has already been published elsewhere, unless its prior publication is disclosed and republication is permitted

Where AI tools have been used for research, editing or assistance, authors remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, citations and substantive analysis of the submission.

Citations & Sources

Authors should cite sources wherever necessary, particularly for:

  • Judgments and court orders
  • Statutes and regulations
  • Government notifications and reports
  • Academic research
  • Data and statistics
  • Statements or claims attributable to another source

Primary legal sources should be preferred wherever available.

For judgments, please provide the case name, court, date and citation/link, wherever available.

Citations should be accurate and sufficient for the reader to verify the source.

Writing & Formatting

Please keep the following in mind:

  • Use a clear and relevant title.
  • Use headings and subheadings where they improve readability.
  • Avoid unnecessarily long paragraphs.
  • Explain technical legal concepts where a general reader may not be familiar with them.
  • Avoid excessive use of Latin phrases and unexplained legal jargon.
  • Use quotations sparingly and accurately.
  • Check names, dates, case numbers, statutory provisions and citations before submission.
  • Proofread the article for spelling, grammar and formatting.

There is no single prescribed writing style. A well-written analytical piece, commentary, case analysis or opinion is welcome.

Recommended Length

We recommend approximately 1,000–2,500 words for most articles.

Longer submissions may be considered where the subject requires detailed treatment.

Shorter, focused pieces are also welcome where the subject can be meaningfully addressed within a shorter format.

Editorial Standards

All submissions are subject to editorial review.

The editorial team may:

  • Request clarification or additional sources
  • Suggest structural or substantive changes
  • Edit for grammar, clarity and readability
  • Verify citations and factual claims
  • Decline submissions that do not meet editorial standards

Publication is not guaranteed by submission.

The views expressed in published articles belong to the respective authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the publisher.
