Submission of Articles for Scots Law Times

The Editorial Team is always pleased to receive contributions of articles on subjects of topical interest to Scots Law Times readers, especially those commenting on recent case law or legislative developments, new legislation about to come into force or still in passage, or other proposals for reform.

All contributions received will be read by one or more of the editorial team and the author advised of their acceptability for publication with or without modifications. We will send authors a proof to revise prior to publication.

The optimum length is about 3,000 words but shorter contributions are welcome and it may be possible to accommodate longer contributions where the subject matter requires, depending on space available.

Contributions should be submitted by email or on Word formatted disk; if the latter an accompanying printout would be helpful. Footnotes should be avoided, any references being incorporated into the text. A one or two sentence summary to appear at the beginning of the article would also be helpful but will be prepared editorially if not provided.

A fee will be paid in return for assignation of copyright to W. Green & Son. In addition the author will receive a copy of the issue of publication.

All inquiries as to possible contributions, and all submissions of copy, should be made to:
