Editorial Guidelines

 

  • All writing submitted to the Maryland Bar Journal is subject to the approval of the Special Committee on Editorial Advisory and will be edited for accuracy, conciseness, length, English grammar and usage, and conformity to the Editorial Guidelines. If, in the judgement of the Special Committee, significant editing is required that may affect the substance of an article, the author will be consulted before publication.
  • The Maryland Bar Journal seeks original works and will not ordinarily consider publishing an article that has appeared elsewhere. Material published in the Maryland Bar Journal may thereafter be reprinted with the Special Committee’s approval and appropriate credit. Unsolicited manuscripts are limited to one submission per year per author.
  • Articles must be submitted electronically to the Content Submission Portal at https://www.msba.org/content-portal/, in Word or Google document format. Questions can be directed to editor Andrea Solan, andreas@msba.org.

  • Articles should not exceed 2,500 words unless the editor assigns or agrees in advance to a longer length. The title, author’s name, and byline information should appear on the first page.
