Submissions
•
Articles published in the Journal of Health & Biomedical Law (JHBL) are
submitted by judges, legal scholars, and other authorities in various
fields of health and biomedical law. Lead Articles should be scholarly in style
and contain incisive analysis, informed opinion, and content of interest to
the legal community. JHBL seeks a diversity of subject matter and, on
occasion, we will accept an article that focuses on issues from a broader
social perspective rather than one that presents a more traditional style
of legal analysis.
• JHBL carefully considers each manuscript that we receive. When JHBL
receives an article submission, the Lead Articles Editors will carefully review
it and make a tentative decision regarding the article’s publication
quality. After preliminary research about the author and the area of law
that the article covers, the Lead Articles Editor, in conjunction with the
Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor, will decide whether to extend an offer
of publication to the author. If the author accepts, JHBL staff members
will check the substantive and technical accuracy of the piece, as well as
make grammatical and stylistic suggestions. Although we extend deference to
authors in stylistic matters, we cannot sacrifice the substantive and
technical accuracy presented in the articles published by JHBL.
• You may submit articles to the Journal of Health & Biomedical
Law via email or standard mail. Footnotes should conform to the standards
set forth in The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed. 2005).
