The Harvard Journal of Law & Gender welcomes unsolicited manuscripts and comments on issues relating to gender and the law, feminist jurisprudence, and social equality. Our Selection Committee considers submissions on a rolling basis throughout the academic year and during the summer, beginning in early February. In compelling circumstances, expedited review may be granted at the discretion of the Journal.
The Journal encourages scholarship from those throughout the legal and non-legal communities. We accept article submissions from professors, practitioners, and other professionals, as well as note submissions from students. All pieces are anonymized during the screening process.
Professionals should submit their manuscripts through Scholastica. These pieces should be ~15,000-30,000 words, inclusive of footnotes; double-spaced; anonymized; and follow the most recent edition of the Bluebook.
Students should submit their manuscripts to the specific Student Note Competition here. More details about Student Note requirements can be found at that link.
