University of Tasmania, Australia

Since its first issue in 1958, the University of Tasmania Law Review has published a diverse range of law-related articles from Australia and around the world dealing with topics such as legal history, current legal issues and future directions of the law.

Managed and edited by a student editorial board, the Review is a refereed journal and all articles are assessed through a formal peer-review process. The Review is proud of its streamlined editorial process, which ensures articles are as current as possible while maintaining the best standards of content and presentation.

The following articles have appeared in recent issues:

•  ‘Intercolonial Free Trade: The Drafting History of Section 92 of the Australian Constitution’ by Gonzalo Villalta Puig
• Professional Mentoring Programs for Law Students’ by Nicholas James
• ‘What Can Contract Lawyers Lean from Law and Economics’ by Qi Zhou
• ‘Red Cross Oration: The Growing Impact of International Law on Australian Constitutional Values’ by Michael Kirby
• ‘The Contribution of the International Criminal Court to Increasing Respect for International Humanitarian Law’ by Tim McCormack
• 'Enemies Foreign and Domestic’: Thomas v Mowbray and the New Scope of the Defence Power’ by Herman Pintos-Lopez and George Williams

The journal also regularly features casenotes and book reviews.

We welcome the submission of articles, preferably between 4,000 and 10,000 words (inclusive of footnotes) and on topics of relevance to academics and the legal community. It is required that all articles be accompanied by an abstract of approximately 200 words in length. Contributors should note that the University of Tasmania Law Review has a particular focus on Australian, Asia-Pacific and international legal issues. Articles should contain useful headings. References must be footnoted in accordance with the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (3rd ed, 2010). The Guide is available at http://www.law.unimelb.edu.au/mulr/aglc.

All articles considered to be of the appropriate format and subject matter are refereed using a double-blind process. This process of refereeing takes approximately two month. Authors will be notified of the Editors’ decision regarding publication and will be kept informed throughout the process.
