The Journal invites all members of the bench, bar, and academic communities to submit manuscripts on any area of the law that may be of interest to the legal profession. The Journal is published twice annually and is comprised of essays, legal articles, public administration articles and current public law and policy issues.

Submitted manuscripts should be word-processed, single-sided, double-spaced, and include footnotes generated by a word processor (i.e. not manually). Only one type of footnote numbering may be used; dedications or other information must be numbered as a normal footnote. Citation format must conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (most current edition). The Journal currently uses Microsoft Word 2003 for Windows XP in the publication process. Therefore, documents must be readily convertible into that format. 

Submissions may be sent either electronically via email to publiclaw@hamline.edu or electronic delivery system Express) at http://law.bepress.com/expresso/, or hardcopy via the United States Postal Service or any other parcel carrier to:

Articles Editor
Hamline Journal of Public Law & Policy
Hamline University School of Law
1536 Hewitt Avenue
Saint Paul, MN 55104-1284

Authors should also attach a current resume and an abstract of their submission. Manuscripts will not be returned except in very rare circumstances. Each submission will be reviewed by the Articles Editor for publication considering editorial limitations, publication schedules, and space availability. Due to a large number of submissions, responses will most often only be provided to those individuals the Journal wishes to extend an offer for publication. The Journal will not publish material that has been committed for publication in another journal or legal periodical without the written permission by the Journal's Board of Editors. All authors should promptly notify the Board of Editors when their work has been accepted elsewhere.
