Submission Guidelines
LSE Law Working Papers were first published in 2007 (originally titled Law, Society and Economy Working Paper Series). The series focuses on interdisciplinary legal scholarship in all subject areas. All members of the LSE Law School, LSE doctoral students, visiting professors and other visitors are invited to submit papers. Exceptionally, the Editors will publish keynote speeches or other major presentations which fit within the Series’ remit and which were delivered at the LSE by academics speaking at the invitation of LSE Law School or one of its affiliated research centres. However, our general policy is only to publish papers by researchers based in the law school. The Working Paper Series does not adopt a particular style, and papers may be submitted in any recognised style consistently applied. The papers are published electronically and are available online or through email distribution. See also our licence agreement.
