A few rules
You are kindly asked to refrain from promoting companies or commercial services through your contributions. Your submission must be your personal work. We take plagiarism very seriously and will terminate our working relationship immediately.
Your submission should consist of around 1000 words. For clearer readability, kindly include sub-titles for sections of the article. Also, kindly hand in your draft in word format.
Once we have received your contribution, our team of editors will review your article. We decide whether to decline or accept any contribution at our sole discretion and inform you about the publication. We reserve the right to ask you for minor editing. While the time for this review process is generally short, kindly highlight if your article touches upon an ongoing development in order for us to respect the time-sensitive nature of your contribution.
We are looking forward to publishing your contributions on africanlegalstudies.blog.
