Manuscript Submissions

Posted by admin on January 29, 2008

Call for Papers

The Widener Journal of Law, Economics, and Race is please to announce its call for papers. The journal seeks to publish papers in various areas that highlight the intersection of the law, economics and race, for example: Economic Policy, Education, Health Care, Welfare Reform, Criminal Justice and Civil Rights. Please be advised papers that papers submitted which do not include significant discussion about race will be rejected. The purpose of the journal is to contribute to scholarship, public policy, and discussion about race at the intersection of law and economics. Papers that are related to, or tangentially touch upon, common areas that may affect one racial group more significantly than others do not further this purpose.

Submission Guidelines

All papers should be submitted in Microsoft Word format.
For authors not submitting a finished article, please submit a formal proposal, outlining in detail:

• The proposed topic of your contribution and its relevance to the journalís mission
• A brief discussion of the professional or scholarly work surrounding your proposed contribution, and how your contribution intends to address a new or under examined subject
• The prospective structure of your paper, including:
  • Thesis statement
  • Methodological or disciplinary approach
  • Main arguments
• A draft or work-in-progress, if available
• A curriculum vitae and writing sample (or citation to a published work) will also be helpful
