Information for Authors
APPEAL is the student run law journal at the University of Victoria Faculty of Law. The journal values readability and originality. We welcome topical submissions that discuss legal issues of current importance. We encourage submissions to reflect the journal’s creative and innovative character. Shorter articles, case commentaries or book reviews are accepted.
APPEAL publishes exceptional student scholarship, including all work completed while studying at any law school at the undergraduate or graduate level. Accordingly, papers submitted by articling students, clerking students and recent graduates are eligible for publication. Submissions may be any length, but submissions in previous volumes have averaged between 2000 and 8000 words.
Once received, APPEAL will submit papers to an intensive selection process, including reviews by volunteer editors, the Editorial Board and legal experts. APPEAL does not accept submissions that are currently under consideration by other journals. The Editorial Board will attempt to advise authors as early as possible as to whether their paper has been accepted for publication.
Please ensure that papers are submitted in their final version. All submissions must be MS Word documents. Accepted authors will have an opportunity to review proofs and to correct typographical errors, but should make every effort to submit their paper in a state ready for publication. All papers must adhere to the style guide of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation, 7th ed. (Toronto: Carswell, 2010). This includes citations.
Authors agree to publish their paper exclusively with APPEAL, and to notify APPEAL should they wish to withdraw a submission.
