Author Guidelines

Articles should be 5000-8000 words (although longer articles will be considered).

Notes summarising and commenting on case law and legislative developments should be around 2000 words (though may be longer if the case or legislation meris this). Articles and Notes will be subject to a blind double-peer review process.

Articles and Notes should comply with the current version of the New Zealand Law Style Guide and use headings as set out in this edition of the NZCLR. They should be submitted as Word documents. Letters to the editor that contribute to debate will be welcomed. In addition, book reviews will feature.
