How to Submit an Article

The Harvard Journal of Law & Technology (JOLT) accepts all submissions electronically and has a strong preference for articles submitted via ExpressO. Please submit the file as a Word (preferred) or PDF file. Manuscripts must be accompanied by the author's address, telephone number, fax (if available), and e-mail address. The author should also include a resume, a letter of introduction, and a short abstract. We do not accept hard copy submissions. If you are unable to submit your article via ExpressO, please contact us at joltsub@law.harvard.edu.

Types of Articles Accepted

JOLT publishes writings by academics, practitioners, and policymakers on a variety of topics, including intellectual property, biotechnology, e-commerce, cybercrime, the Internet, telecommunications, and the impact of technology on legal practice. These and other subjects are some of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of the law. We believe that the dialogue provided by JOLT and other legal journals focused on technology will help shape the future of these important fields.

We welcome submissions of articles addressing the relationship of law and technology. We will consider notes and book reviews, but we prefer full length articles. Consideration of submissions is ongoing throughout the year; articles currently being received will be considered for inclusion in: Volume 23, Issue 1 (Fall 2009).

Citation Format

Citations in all submitted articles should conform to the latest edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation.

Expedite Requests

We will conduct expedited reviews for articles with publication offers from other journals. So that we are able to appropriately respond to such requests, authors submitting an expedited review request should specify: (1) their need for consideration on an expedited basis, and (2) the offer deadline from the other journal(s). As with standard submissions, we have a strong preference for expedite requests submitted via ExpressO. If you email us regarding an expedite, please include "expedite" in the subject line of the email.
