PhD Programme in Law

The opportunity to undertake advanced legal research at one of the world's best law schools.

The London School of Economics is a world centre for advanced research and teaching with an outstanding reputation, with a campus situated in the heart of London, one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Only a short distance from Europe's financial, legal and cultural centres, LSE stands at the crossroads of international debate, a location that is fundamental to our identity as an outward looking institution with an active involvement in UK and world affairs. Each year the School attracts many influential outside speakers. Regular events and seminars involving politicians, regulators, practitioners and academics take place to complement your studies. 

LSE Law School is one of the UK's pre-eminent research institutions for law. Our academics are the authors of influential and often path-breaking scholarship, and many have globally leading reputations.  LSE Law is also one of UK's largest law schools, with over 70 academic members of staff. It is a uniquely cosmopolitan academic community, with staff and students coming from all over the world.  Our academics draw on a wide range of literatures and traditions, and pursue analyses that seek to situate the law within the political, social and economic context within which it is formed and operates.

Submission Guidelines

Submitting an article online.

To submit an article online, and to check the status of your submission, you need to have an account with the journal.

Don't have an account? Register here.

Article Types

Pieces here are commentaries on contemporaneous legal issues. These may reflect tensions in academia, debates around relevant policies from public bodies, or debates around legislation. 

This section is peer reviewed.

Pieces here will be commentaries on a specific, reported case. They may have a comparative element with a non-reported case, or seek to comment on issues beyond the case itself, but will be centred around a reported case nonetheless.

Author Guidelines

Eligibility guidelines.

The Rule of Law Journal publishes a wide range of legal literature. However, we do have some guidelines to ensure that all pieces stay within our (wide) scope. We are not able to publish pieces that do not meet the following criteria.

Articles that do not meet these criteria cannot be considered and will not recieve formative feedback.

Reviewer Guidelines

When deciding whether or not to accept an article editors will consider the following criteria.

The main text must be:

1. Well-written.

This requires pieces to have proper British-English spelling, punctuation, and grammar (including Oxford Commas and correct use of dash-types). This criteria also requires that there is an appropriate academic tone. The language in well written pieces will be clear and easy to follow. Pieces should read easily to those who are not experts in the relevant area. Signposting must be present from beginning to end.

2. Well-argued.

Well-argued pieces will be ordered in a way that is logical and easy to follow. The thesis of the piece should be easily identifiable and should be linked to throughout the piece. Arguments will not rely on fallacies and will be backed up with appropriate legal and academic sources— though pieces must display critical thinking and not purely recite existing sources. Conclusions will be nuanced and flow from the argumentation that precedes them. There should always be some level of engagement with opposing viewpoints, even if hypothetical. 

3. Accurate.

This requires that pieces are factually and legally accurate. Pieces that lack citations, where appropriate, cannot be considered accurate. Technical language and terminology must be used correctly. Accuracy does not just cover what is included but also what is not included: Pieces that misquote, or oversimplify in a way that detracts from the true meaning, will not be regarded as accurate.

4. Novel and Relevant.

Novelty requires that the argument of the piece is unique and has not been seen before in the academic literature. This can include a new argument to support or refute an existing thesis. Arguments should also be relevant, in that they relate to a contemporary area of discussion within the relevant field, or are related to a recent or ongoing event. To succeed at relevance authors should aim to contextualise their piece within the piece itself.

5. Well-presented.

Pieces should be presented with an introduction and conclusion. Pieces should use subheadings to clearly demarcate sections. This also requires that pieces are properly cited in OSCOLA format. This journal accepts the use of ‘ibid’, including where the paragraph or page number changes. 

Title page To ensure blind peer review, please provide a title page. The title page should clearly list the following:

• All authors full names.
• All authors affiliations 
• All authors email addresses.
• Word count, excluding footnotes.
• Any acknowledgements the author wishes to be published.

No author names or contact details should appear anywhere else on the document.

Author names should include a forename and a surname. Forenames cannot include only initials.

The affiliation should ideally include ‘Department, Institution, City, Country’. However only the Institution and Country are mandatory.

Acknowledgements should be no more than 250 words.

Abstract Research articles must have the main text prefaced by an abstract of no more than 500 words summarising the main arguments and conclusions of the article. This must have the heading ‘Abstract’ and be easily identified from the start of the main text. It should not appear on the title page.

A list of up to six key words may be placed below the abstract (optional).

The Abstract and Keywords should also be added to the metadata when making the initial online submission.

Reproducibility If data, structured methods or code used in the research project have been made openly available, a statement should be added to inform the reader how/where to access these files. This should include the repository location and the DOI linking to it. Read our reproducibility guide for more information on best practice and maximising the impact of your open data.

If data used in the research project has not been made available, a statement confirming this should be added, along with reasoning why.

The journal's data policy is available on the Editorial Policies page.

Ethics and consent  (if applicable) Research involving human subjects, human material, or human data, must have been performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki . Where applicable, studies must have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee and the authors should include a statement within the article text detailing this approval, including the name of the ethics committee and reference number of the approval. The identity of the research subject(s) should be anonymised whenever possible. For research involving human subjects, informed consent to participate in the study must be obtained from participants (or their legal guardian) and added to this statement. If a study involving human subjects/tissue/data was exempt from requiring ethical approval, a confirmation statement from the relevant body should be included within the submission.

Experiments using animals must follow national standards of care. For further information, click  here .

Bibliography OSCOLA does not require a bibliography for pieces of this length. As such, we do not require a bibliography and will not print provided bibliographies. 

Permissions

The author is responsible for obtaining all permissions required prior to submission of the manuscript. Permission and owner details should be mentioned for all third-party content included in the submission or used in the research.

If a method or tool is introduced in the study, including software, questionnaires, and scales, the license this is available under and any requirement for permission for use should be stated. If an existing method or tool is used in the research, it is the author's responsibility to check the license and obtain the necessary permissions. Statements confirming that permission was granted should be included in the Materials and Methods section.

Language & Text

Capitalisation For the submission title :

Capitalise all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs and subordinate conjunctions (i.e. as, because, although). Use lowercase for all articles, coordinate conjunctions and prepositions.

• Slip-Sliding on a Yellow Brick Road: Stabilization Efforts in Afghanistan

Headings within the main text :

First level headings in the text should follow the same rule as the main title.

For lower-level subheadings, only capitalise first letter and proper nouns.

Headings should be under 75 characters.

Spelling Submissions must be made in British English. 

When referring to proper nouns and normal institutional titles, the official, original spelling must be used.

(e.g. World Health Organization, not World Health Organisation).

Grammar British English grammar rules must be used.

Font Any font may be used, however it will be standardised to 10pt Garamond, with Subheadings in 10pt Bold Garamond, and Titles in 12pt Bold Garamond.

Quotation marks Use double quotation marks except for quotes within another speech, in which case single quotation marks are used.

Quotations that are longer than three lines in length must be in an indented paragraph separate from the main text.

The standard, non-italicised font must be used for all quotes.

It must be clear from the text and/or citation where the quote is sourced. If quoting from material that is under copyright then permission will need to be obtained from the copyright holder.

Acronyms & Abbreviations With abbreviations, the crucial goal is to ensure that the reader – particularly one who may not be fully familiar with the topic or context being addressed – is able to follow along. Spell out almost all acronyms on first use, indicating the acronym in parentheses immediately thereafter. Use the acronym for all subsequent references.

• Research completed by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows …

A number of abbreviations are so common that they do not require the full text on the first instance. Examples of these can be found here .

Abbreviations should usually be in capital letters without full stops.

• USA, not U.S.A

Common examples from Latin origin do not follow this rule and should be lower case and can include full stops.

• e.g., i.e., etc.

Use of footnotes/endnotes Footnotes should primarily only be used for referencing. Extra substantive information should only be provided in footnotes where it is both essential information and incompatible with being in the main text.

Data & Symbols

Symbols Symbols are permitted within the main text and datasets as long as they are commonly in use or have explanatory definition on their first usage.

Hyphenation, em and en dashes There is no set rule on the use of hyphenation between words, as long as they are consistently used.

Em dashes should be used sparingly. If they are present, they should denote emphasis, change of thought or interruption to the main sentence and can replace commas, parentheses, colons or semicolons.

• The president’s niece—daughter of his younger brother—caused a media scandal when…

En dashes can be used to replace ‘to’ when indicating a range. No space should surround the dash.

• 10-25 years

Numbers For numbers zero to nine please spell the whole words. Please use figures for numbers 10 or higher.

We are happy for authors to use either words or figures to represent large whole figures (i.e. one million or 1,000,000) as long as the usage is consistent throughout the text.

If the sentence includes a series of numbers then figures must be used in each instance.

• Artefacts were found at depths of 5, 9, and 29 cm.

If the number appears as part of a dataset, in conjunction with a symbol or as part of a table then the figure must be used.

• This study confirmed that 5% of…

If a sentence starts with a number it must be spelt, or the sentence should be re-written so that it no longer starts with the number.

• Fifteen examples were found to exist…
• The result showed that 15 examples existed…

Do not use a comma for a decimal place.

• 2.43 NOT 2,43

Numbers that are less than zero must have ‘0’ precede the decimal point.

• 0.24 NOT .24

Units of measurement Symbols following a figure to denote a unit of measurement must be taken from the latest SI brochure. See http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/si_brochure_8_en.pdf for the full brochure.

Figures & Tables

Figures and Tables can be included only if they are essential to the content of the submission.

Figures Figures, including graphs and diagrams, must be professionally and clearly presented. If a figure is not easy to understand or does not appear to be of a suitable quality, the editor may ask to re-render or omit it.

All figures must be cited within the main text, in consecutive order using Arabic numerals (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.).

Each figure must have an accompanying descriptive main title. This should clearly and concisely summarise the content and/or use of the figure image.

The source of the image should be included, along with any relevant copyright information and a statement of authorisation (if needed).

• Figure 1: Firemen try to free workers buried under piles of concrete and metal girders. Photo: Claude-Michel Masson. Reproduced with permission of the photographer.

If your figure file includes text then please present the font as Times New Roman.

NOTE: All figures must be uploaded separately as supplementary files during the submission process, if possible in colour and at a resolution of at least 300dpi . Each file should not be more than 20MB. Standard formats accepted are: JPG, TIFF, GIF, PNG, EPS.  Tables Tables must be created using a word processor's table function, not tabbed text.

Tables should be included in the manuscript. The final layout will place the tables as close to their first citation as possible.

All tables must be cited within the main text, and numbered with Arabic numerals in consecutive order (e.g. Table 1, Table 2, etc.).

Each table must have an accompanying descriptive title. This should clearly and concisely summarise the content and/or use of the table. 

Tables should not include:

• Rotated text
• Colour to denote meaning (it will not display the same on all devices)
• Vertical or diagonal lines
• Multiple parts (e.g. ‘Table 1a’ and ‘Table 1b’). These should either be merged into one table, or separated into ‘Table 1’ and ‘Table 2’.

NOTE: If there are more columns than can fit on a single page, then the table will be placed horizontally on the page. If it still can't fit horizontally on a page, the table will be broken into two.

This journal exclusivley uses OSCOLA. We will follow the guidelines laid out in the OSCOLA guide when assessing referencing. Please note, we accept the use of ibid, even where paragraph or page number changes.
