3. Articles for the main body of the journal may be on any relevant subject, but Jurisprudence editorial policy favours material which will be of interest to generalist as well as specialist audiences within the worlds of law and legal scholarship. Articles will normally be a maximum of 20,000 words, but contributions outside this range will be considered at the general editors’ discretion. All full-length articles will be subject to blind refereeing as well consideration by the general editors in consultation with the editorial board. Authors of articles are asked to submit two typescript copies, one of them without the author’s name and affiliation, together with any other indication of provenance (eg in cross-references to other work by the same author). An abstract of between 100 and 150 words should be submitted with the contribution together with a list of 4 to 5 keywords which encapsulate the principle subjects cover by the paper. These will appear on the journal’s website if the article is published.

4. Contributors should submit an electronic copy of their piece by email. Contributions should be word-processed, double-spaced in Word and conform to the guidelines below. The only exception is where this would be impracticable or cause undue hardship.

5. There should be ample margins and type should be double-spaced throughout, including any notes. Notes should be shown as footnotes and be numbered consecutively. Notes should be kept to a minimum. Contributions to the Reviews section may have notes but these should be minimised. Contributions to the Reviews section will show the name of the author at the end, while Articles full-length articles will carry the author’s name beneath the title. Autobiographical details should be attached as a footnote to the contributor’s name, marked using an asterisk symbol, and include the contributor’s position and institutional affiliation. Degrees and other personal accomplishments should not be included. All other footnotes should be numerical, starting with number 1. Contributors should strive to keep to two levels of heading within an article wherever possible. A third is acceptable in extremis. In any case a numbering or typographical system should be adopted which makes it clear on the typescript which heading belongs to which level. In contributions to the Analysis and Reviews sections at most one level of heading should be used.

6. The house style follows OSCOLA (Oxford Standard Citation for Legal Authorities), which can be downloaded at http://www.competition-law.ox.ac.uk/published/oscola_2006.pdf.

Please note the following general guidelines.

(a) Full stops indicating abbreviations should be omitted including the "v" for versus in case names).
(b) Case references should be in full the first time they are mentioned (giving the neutral citation pluse an official law reports citation where available). the name of the case may thereafter be shortened either to a commonly recognised form or to a form explicitly specified. The same principles apply to the shortening of names of books, articles, official reports, etc.
(c) Books should be cited in the following form: Andrew von Hirsch and Andrew Ashworth, Principled Sentencing: Readings on Theory and Policy (2nd edn Hart Publishing, Oxford 1998). Article citations should look like this: John G Fleming, 'Product Liability De-Constructed' (1996) 16 OJLS 185.
(d) Cross-referencing between notes should be kept to a minimum, but where unavoidable the form '(n 12)' should be used (eg 'Mitchell (n 12)'; 'ante', 'post', 'op cir', 'loc cit', 'supra' and 'infra' should all be avoided. 'Ibid' is permitted where the reference is to the immediately preceding note.
(e) Quotes of more than 40 words in length should appear as indented double-speced paragraphs without quotation marks. Otherwise, single inverted commas should be used throughout, except for quotes within quotes, which will be double.
