Queen Mary Law Journal

The Queen Mary Law Journal (QMLJ) is a collection of essays and academic articles published annually by the Queen Mary Law Society. It is an entirely student-run publication, with both its leadership and editorial board drawn from the student body at Queen Mary, University of London. Founded in 1998 and re-introduced in 2010, the QMLJ’s primary commitment is to offer a venue for students and practitioners of the law alike to publish work falling outside the scope of the typical legal curriculum.

The QMLJ is an innovative legal publication. We aim for diversity in both our content and contributors – all submissions are equally subject to a blind-review process by our editorial board and faculty advisers. We aim for accessibility – in combining print and digital media, we hope to create a forum for open, unabashed legal discussion. We aim to be on both the forefront and outskirts of legal thought.

The annual conference edition of the law journal was released in March 2013,  following the Queen Mary School of Law Postgraduate Law Conference 2012: Taking Risks and Challenging Legal Thought."

Submission guidelines

  • The QMLJ accepts submissions on an annual basis.
  • The QMLJ currently accepts submissions addressing the study or practice of UK law, or offering a comparative analysis of UK law with other, particularly focusing on those areas currently in flux in the UK. We encourage undergraduate and postgraduate students to submit articles developed from dissertations.
  • Typically, submissions fall within a word count of 5000-8000 words. We ask that all submissions comply with the Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA) and include an abstract not exceeding 200 words.

The journal is distributed within the School of Law at Queen Mary, in addition to being held in the libraries of all University of London schools and major national collections. In 2013, distribution will be expanded to several international collections.
