The Journal welcomes submissions on all areas of law from academics, legal practitioners and law students.

The University of Queensland Law Journal is published on behalf of the TC Beirne School of Law at The University of Queensland. The Journal aims to publish significant works of scholarship that make an original contribution to different fields of law, including all areas of domestic, international and comparative law, as well as jurisprudence, legal history and the intersection of law with other disciplines.

The manuscript should be typed, doublespaced and on one side only of A4 sized paper. Contributors are also requested to supply a copy of their manuscript in Microsoft Word format. Style and referencing of submissions should conform to the house style outlined in the Australian Guide to Legal Citation. An abstract of not more than 120 words should be included on a separate page.
