Article Submissions

1. Editorial policy

1.1. Lex Electronica only publishes original, previously unpublished texts, drafted in French or in English.

1.2. Every text submitted for publication must be exclusive to the Lex Electronica journal.

2. Procedure

2.1. Submissions take place upon the reception of the proposed article. The Editorial Committee will then be asked to examine the proposal. A proposal will either be accepted or refused.

2.2. Upon reception, the Editorial Committee will transmit the article to the Scientific Panel for a general review. Should it feel necessary to do so, the Scientific Panel may request that the author make certain corrections to the article's content. The author must follow the panel's recommendations before presenting a new version of his article to the Editorial Committee. The author must also respect the stipulations outlined in the Editing Charter.

It must also contain the names of all contributing authors, along with a complete listing of their coordinates (telephone number, fax number, e-mail address).
