Cambridge Law Board Student Representatives

09/12/2018

There are just 3 weeks left to make submissions to be considered for publication in the first issue of Volume IV which will be published in mid-March 2019. The submission window for Volume IV, Issue 1 is from 20 August 2018 until 28 December 2018, and the outcome of submissions will be made known by the end of January 2019. To make your submission, visit www.cambridgelawreview.org/submit. The deadline for submissions is 28 December 2018. Cambridge Law Review (CLR) is now inviting submissions for publication in Volume IV, Issue 1.

The Cambridge Law Review (CLR) is an independent legal publication run by students of the University of Cambridge which aims to provide a forum for the discussion of contemporary and cutting-edge legal issues. The first, second, and third volumes of the CLR can be accessed on HeinOnline or at www.cambridgelawreview.org/issues.

We welcome contemporary submissions on issues relating to all common law jurisdictions, or those with a former connection to the English common law; European law; international law; comparative pieces; as well as interdisciplinary legal scholarship that has regard to economics and political studies. We do consider purely jurisprudential or historical pieces on a case-by-case basis. Despite being a journal run by students of English law, we do not evince a preference for submissions relating to English law; our most important criteria for publication is that your submission relates to a contemporary legal issue or provides critical insight into the area of law you have chosen. Submissions from students, academics, and practitioners are equally welcome. Our submission guidelines can be found here: www.cambridgelawreview.org/submit.

Each submission will be subject to blind review by multiple editors on the student editorial board of the CLR—comprising postgraduates and undergraduates from the University of Cambridge. Further, if the submission made is not on English law, it will additionally be reviewed by an international editorial board appointed from universities in the USA, Canada, Australia, India, Hong Kong, and Singapore, to ensure, as far as possible, a fair and comprehensive review is done by editors with knowledge of jurisdictional-specific points of law. Following the student editorial board’s review, shortlisted submissions will be sent on to the CLR’s Honorary Board, consisting of Lord Millett, Judge Hisashi Owada, Judge Awn Al Bhasawneh, Sir John Laws, Sir Jeremy Cooke, Justice Anselmo Reyes, Professor Malcolm Shaw QC, Michael Blair QC, and Jern-Fei Ng QC, for their input on the pieces to be published.

In the past three volumes, submissions published have typically been made by postgraduate students and early career academics or professionals.

The Cambridge Law Review welcomes contemporary submissions on English law, the law in other common law jurisdictions, European law, and international law; comparative pieces; as well as interdisciplinary legal scholarship that has regard to economics and political studies.

Hi all! Many lawyers tend to be involved in The Wilberforce Society, and they are having their annual conference on the 3rd of February, it looks to be a great conference with prominent speakers (and a nice Johnsy venue, food and free gifts - all good stuff)!

This is a great way to get involved with the society if you aren't already, and especially if you are interested in broader policy issues outside the law.

You can get tickets here: https://fixr.co/event/839889716
