Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts

The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts (JLA) welcomes manuscripts that discuss issues relevant to arts, entertainment, media, and intellectual property law. We review submissions throughout the year, making most offers of publication in July and August.

To submit an article for consideration, please send an e-mail with the submission and author’s CV attached to our Executive Submissions Editor at submissions@lawandarts.org. We also accept electronic manuscripts by submission through ExpressO and Scholastica.

The Journal is committed to publishing a diverse, inclusive range of scholarship. We believe that the arts and legal communities are greatly enriched by articles which discuss a broad variety of legal issues and which represent the work of authors from all sorts of backgrounds.

Requirements:

• All manuscripts submitted for consideration should be in Microsoft Word format. They should be double-spaced with citations placed in footnotes that conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (Columbia Law Review Ass’n et al. eds., 21st ed. 2020).
• Submissions must be under 30,000 words.
• Please submit a CV for each author.
• At this time, the Journal does not review submissions from current J.D. students.
• The Journal does not currently publish book reviews.
