Dear authors,

Kosovo Legal Studies, the academic law review journal published by the Kosovo Law Centre, invites the submission of unsolicited manuscripts of articles, essays, commentaries, case notes and book reviews. We invite authors both inside and outside Kosovo to contribute to the body of academic literature available to Kosovo's legal community.

While Kosovo Legal Studies will consider publication of articles from all subject areas, we are particularly interested in examinations of current legal issues in Kosovo, including (but not limited to): domestic violence, trafficking of women and children, reform of the legal education system, institutional development, international law as applicable in Kosovo, judicial development, and issues involving devolution and local governance.

Articles may be submitted in English, Albanian or Serbian.

All submissions must include the name and title of the author and full contact information. Please also include a copy of your CV.

Kosovo Legal Studies is divided into four sections. Please note which of these four categories your submission falls into:

• Articles - traditional academic articles covering different branches of law, such as constitutional, civil, criminal, administrative, etc. that are particularly important or relevant to law in Kosovo.

• Case Notes - short analyses of judgments handed down by the Kosovo Courts, outlining the primary issues raised and problems related to the given case.

• Book Reviews - of new local and internationally published books relevant to law in Kosovo.
  

• Forum - articles that reach beyond the law to include political, social and cultural developments relevant to the law and legal system of Kosovo.

When writing a "book review," please begin your review by providing the full reference information of the book, including the title, author(s), year of publication, place of publication and the publisher.

Please ensure that your articles are no longer than 10 pages for a full article (including footnotes), and no longer than 2 pages for case notes (in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font).

If you choose to divide your paper into sections, please use the following sectional format:

Introduction ...
I. .................
A. ................
1. ................
a. ................
(...)
Conclusion .....

If you choose to utilize abbreviations, be sure to write out the entire name or title the first time it is used, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. For the remainder of the article, use the abbreviated form.

When quoting from another publication, use quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quoted text ("…"). Please cite all sources with footnotes, which include the name of the author(s), the title (of the book, magazine, document, etc.), the publisher, the year of publication and the page number.

All manuscripts will be read and reviewed by KLS editorial staff. Contributions submitted must not be under consideration by other publications at the time of submission. The editors reserve the right to accept or reject any articles submitted, and to make any changes thought to be necessary or appropriate to typescripts accepted for publication. No disks or hard copies shall be returned.

Preferably, articles should be submitted electronically. Articles will also be accepted by post or by hand delivery.
