European Journal of Law and Technology is inviting a Call for Papers which relate generally to European issues in information and technology law from the legal fraternity globally.
About the Journal
The origins of the journal lie in the Law Technology Journal which was published at Warwick University and supported by the CTI Law Technology Centre (now the UK Centre for Legal Education) and BILETA (British and Irish Legal Education Technology Association – as it was then known).
The editor was Abdul Paliwala and dissemination of the journal was by print and also via ‘gopher’ technology (users “go for” information), a predecessor to the www which developed in the early 1990s.
Now, the law of information and technology is becoming more and more harmonised and European Inter-University collaboration has become commonplace.
The journal’s core interests have not really changed since the early 1990s; its support from and close connection to BILETA has continued, so a change of title and approach simply means a refreshing of the ideas which gave impetus to the LTC and JILT in those early years.
The journal will consider articles which cover more international aspects – such as developments in the international context – but these should be written in a comparative manner, and be of interest to a European readership.
Suggested Theme
They are interested in topics which relate generally to European issues in information and technology law. Articles submitted might cover topical issues in intellectual property, media, use of technology in governance and legal education, crime, commerce, human rights issues, jurisprudence etc.
Types of Submissions
- Articles
- Commentaries
- Conference Paper/Research Papers
- Book Review
- Review Essays
Guidelines for Submissions
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
- The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
- Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
- The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
- The EJLT can accept publications written only in the English language. Articles must be written using British English throughout (e.g., -ise, not ize, as in ‘nationalise’). The only exception to this is where ‘z’ is used in official names of organisations and when quoting text verbatim that follows American spelling.
- Articles should not normally exceed 12,000 words, including footnotes. We will exceptionally accept longer articles of sufficient quality up to a maximum of 15,000 words including footnotes where the author is prepared to cover the financial cost of extra desk editing. This is more of an exception than a rule, and the standard word limit, therefore, remains at 12,000 words and should be adhered to.
- The EJLT strongly recommends the Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA) as their preferred style, although this is not mandatory.
