Manuscript Guidelines:

The Journal of Employment and Labor Law is the official publication of the Employment and Labor Law Section of the Academy of Legal Studies in Business. The editorial mission is to provide accurate and authoritative information and commentary on statutory, regulatory, and jurisprudential developments in employment and labor law, in a form that is practical and readily usable by management professionals, students, teachers, researchers, and writers in the fields of employment and labor law, and to encourage and facilitate research and writing about issues at the developing edge of these fields.

The Journal will consider articles dealing with any issues of employment and labor law, but it is particularly interested in articles that discuss and analyze emerging developments in these areas, and that maintain a balance between theoretical considerations and practical applications. Articles should be from 10 to 60 double-spaced, typed, 8 1/2" X 11" pages, emailed as a Word document or submitted on disk

All works submitted for consideration in the articles Section of the Journal are double-blind reviewed. The title should appear on the first page of the text without author or affiliation noted. Neither the body of the manuscript, nor any of the footnotes may contain any information indicating the identity or affiliation of the author(s). Footnotes must conform to the requirements set forth in the most current edition of A Uniform System of Citation. Tables or charts should be appended, with a notation in the text indicating where they should be placed.

In addition to publishing scholarly articles, the Journal also provides a number of regular features in each issue: (1) Recent Developments, (2) Case Studies, and (3) Book Reviews.

The Recent Developments section includes short Case Notes on important, recently-decided court cases dealing with employment or labor law. Case Notes of 3-5 typed, double-spaced, pages may be submitted, and are double-blind reviewed.

The Journal will consider Case Studies for use in teaching employment and labor law. Case Studies may be either actual workplace situations which have been sufficiently disguised to protect the interests of all parties involved, or they may be completely fictitious.

The Journal will also consider Reviews of Recent Books dealing with employment or labor law.

The Journal publishes only original works, and will not publish previously published works. Submission of a work to the Journal constitutes the author's declaration that the work is original and has never been published.

All submissions should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief in a Word document, preferably by email.
