While we consider submissions of all lengths, most of our published pieces run between fifteen (15) and thirty-five (35) pages.

We request that submissions be in Microsoft Word format (.doc, .docx). The journal uses footnote citations. Please format citations using The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (20th ed.) guidelines.

All statements of law or fact should be footnoted. Opinions of the author need not be cited.

-How to submit:

We review and accept articles on a rolling basis.  We strongly encourage contributors to submit manuscripts on the Scholastica online platform or via e-mail to: maritimejournal@loyno.edu, with “Scholastica Submission” in the subject line.

-What to expect after submitting your article:

The Loyola Maritime Law Journal carefully considers all submissions. Once a submission is received by the journal it will be evaluated to make sure it meets our requirements for publication. If the journal selects a submission for publication, our journal’s leadsership will contact the author to discuss the publication process.
