Submissions

The Journal of Business & Technology Law is currently accepting manuscripts for Volume 19, Issue II (Spring 2024). While Scholastica has closed fall submissions, we are currently accepting spring submissions directly to the JBTL@law.umaryland.edu email account.

We seek manuscripts that are well-written and contain original analysis that contribute to legal scholarship as well as the general practice of business and technology law. The Journal will give preference to manuscripts that incorporate the intersection of business and technology law, but will also accept innovative works that highlight trending areas in either business law or technology law. Additionally, our Spring 2024 symposium is focused on AI’s legal status, AI regulation, and AI liability. Any submissions related to these topics will be prioritized.

The Journal is published two times per year by the students of the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submissions should include:

1. The author’s e-mail address, mailing address, and daytime telephone number;
2. a resume or curriculum vitae;
3. a brief abstract of the manuscript; and
4. a copy of the manuscript.

Submissions should be printed on one side of the page only, double-spaced, written in Times 12, and have numbered pages. For electronic submissions, the Journal requires manuscripts to appear in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or Adobe PDF (.pdf) format.

Citations in manuscripts should appear in footnotes (not endnotes) and should conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (21st ed).

Please note we do not accept articles that have been already published on Social Science Research Network (S.S.R.N.).

TIMING

The Journal carefully considers all manuscript submissions. Although we accept articles year-round, we encourage authors to submit manuscripts through January for the spring issue.
