WRITE FOR US
As long as it touches any law-related issues and written in a clear and straightforward manner, we are happy to publish your contribution. The point of publishing here is none other than making your perspective known. With strong editorial support and substantive review, this forum is meant to be a major platform for the first-timers who have little or no experience in English writing. By the same token, it should be seen as an effort in seeking and fostering a variety of new voices and, perhaps, finding a new scholarly direction.
