Hibernian Law Journal – call for submissions for Volume 20

The Hibernian Law Journal is now accepting submissions to be considered for publication in Volume 20.

The Journal is particularly interested in receiving articles examining domestic matters and will also consider those which discuss European or international law or other common law jurisdictions, where they are relevant in an Irish context.

Submissions should be between 5,000 and 15,000 words, formatted in OSCOLA Ireland style and sent to editor@hibernianlawjournal.com by midnight on 5 December 2020.

Louise O’Callaghan, deputy editor for editorial at the Journal, said: “We are proud to provide a platform for trainees and practicing solicitors, our colleagues at the Bar, students and early career academics to contribute to Irish legal discourse. Every year, we receive many excellent submissions and are looking forward to seeing what this year brings.”

Successful submissions will be published in Volume 20 of the Journal, due for publication in hard copy and online (via HeinOnline and Westlaw) in July 2021.

An annual prize, chosen by the Journal’s judge-in-residence, is awarded for the best article and a separate prize is awarded by the Law Society of Ireland for the best article authored by a trainee solicitor.

Established in 1999 under the patronage of the Law Society of Ireland, the Journal is edited by trainee and newly qualified solicitors. It is kindly supported by its benefactors drawn from the Inner Bar and its sponsor firms Arthur Cox, ByrneWallace, Matheson, and McCann FitzGerald.
