Fordham Law’s Voting Rights and Democracy Forum is currently seeking two types of submissions: Articles and Essays.
- Articles.
- Articles are typically under 15,000 words (excluding footnotes) and tend to analyze a problem and offer a solution. Articles should provide some background information before addressing a novel argument. Most follow a traditional roadmap of an introduction, background, analysis/arguments, and conclusion. Articles tend to be formal in tone and ground analysis in substantive support with consistent citations. Submissions should include a brief abstract.
- Essays.
- Essays are typically between 3,000 and 5,000 words (excluding footnotes) and advance an idea, analyze a judicial case, or succinctly summarize a legal development. Essays should be formal in tone, and while there is no preferred structure, student submissions should be particularly mindful to ground analysis in substantive support and cite comprehensively to established scholarly work.
