Submission Guidelines - Blog

Contributors

We accept submissions on a rolling basis from students, legal professionals, teachers, researchers, policy-makers, senior academicians, and any member of the legal fraternity. The submission should be original and unpublished and not under review in any similar platform.

Subject Matter

We accept submissions on contemporary issues across areas such as Company Law, Insolvency Law, Securities Law, Competition Law, Arbitration Law, Taxation, Intellectual Property Rights, Trade Law, and Employment Law.
Submissions may take the form of articles, short notes, opinions, case comments, book reviews, or responses to an existing post on the blog, on any of the topics above.

Content Guidelines

The submission must be original and unpublished. A maximum similarity of 15% is allowed; non-adherence will result in summary rejection.
Submissions should strictly be limited to 1,500 words. This limit excludes any explanatory endnotes.
Submissions must be made in Microsoft Word (.docx) format.
Submissions must follow this formatting style: for the body - Arial, 10, 1.5 spacing, justified; for the endnotes - Arial, 8, 1.5 spacing, justified.
Relevant sources such as judgments, laws, treaties, news articles, and other legal texts must be added as hyperlinks in-text. Where sources are not available as open-source documents, endnotes may be added following the Uniform Bluebook 20th Edition citation style.
The title should be informative, narrative, and precise, summing up the crux of the article. Ideally, keep it to 20 words or fewer. If you wish the Editorial Board to assign a title, please indicate this in the form.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

AI tools may be used in the research stage and to improve the language and readability of the work. They must not replace the author's own legal reasoning, analysis, argumentation, or conclusions.
AI must not be relied upon for legal research, case law, or citations, as such tools frequently fabricate or misstate authorities. Authors are solely responsible for verifying every source and citation against the original text.
Any use of AI beyond basic spelling and grammar checks must be disclosed, both in the submission form and in an endnote stating the tool(s) used and the purpose. Suggested format: "During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [tool] in order to [reason], and take(s) full responsibility for the content."
AI may not be listed or credited as an author. The author remains fully responsible for the entire submission. Undisclosed or impermissible use of AI, or AI-generated inaccuracies, may result in summary rejection or, post-publication, removal of the piece.

How to Contribute

All submissions must be made by filling out the Google form available in the Submit button below. Please do not send submissions via email; submissions sent via email will not be accepted.
Please do not disclose your identity in the Word document when making the submission. We follow a blind peer review process.
Co-authorship of up to 3 authors is allowed.
