Submissions
Submissions are now open for the 2024 issues.
The focus of the AJLR is on scholarship that displays a connection between law and religion. Contributions that are purely theological, sociological, or political will not be considered, but interdisciplinary work involving these fields in connection with law and religion are welcome. Articles involving any area of law may be considered, and it is anticipated that many of the articles received and published by the journal will involve the sub-disciplines of public law (involving constitutional claims of freedom of religion or religion-state neutrality), employment law (involving religious discrimination claims), private law (involving the corporate structures, taxation and charity law obligations, and property interests of religious entities), and international law (involving human rights guarantees). Articles from the sub-disciplines of legal history, comparative law, and law reform are also anticipated. All research articles are subject to double-blind peer review.
The AJLR does not accept submissions simultaneously submitted elsewhere, submissions that are not in English, handwritten submissions, submissions previously published, or submissions consisting of unmodified student work or dissertation chapters. If you are unsure whether your research meets the requirements of the journal, please send a brief inquiry to the editors before submitting.
Submissions may include scholarly articles, book reviews, and contributions to a special topic forum. Submissions should be in standard Australian English and references (with footnote citations), should comply with the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (4th edition), and in MS Word format. Prospective authors are encouraged to include their institutional affiliation, a cover letter, or a CV.
