Journal Article Submissions

The Undergraduate Politics & Law Journal at Fairleigh Dickinson University invites submissions for publication from undergraduate students across the U.S.

All contributions must be original, focus on contemporary political or legal issues, and present a clear argument with proper citations. Articles should have a strong thesis and be well-edited before submission. We welcome a variety of disciplines, methods of research and analysis (historical, legal, quantitative, sociological), and topics. 

Authors may submit their work at any time. However, please note that the Journal is published annually in May. Articles submitted before the deadline will be considered for the upcoming issue, while pieces submitted after the deadline must be resubmitted during the next publication cycle.
