As part of our mission to promote the highest standard of professional excellence possible through professional and public awareness, we are keen to host well-written and researched articles on commercial and corporate law.
Articles can be on any topic as long as it is commercial and corporate law-related.
They could be explanatory, commentary, insightful, etc.
See examples here.
Published articles typically run from 300 words to 1,500 words, though submissions of any length within the bounds of reason will be accepted.
Articles will be published under your personal by-line/ name and in the author’s chosen style.
Articles will be clearly attributed to their authors, who will be required to submit a clear, colored photo of themselves, and a brief biography including position, workplace, place of study, and topics of interest, among others.
We require that authors avoid using complex legal jargon and language since LegalReports is read by a large and varied audience including persons at differing levels of their legal career as well as by persons who are not lawyers.
We cannot accept articles that have been published or are due to be published by another MEDIA Organisation except as part of Lawyer and Lawfirm profiles.
We also cannot accept old essays and/or dissertations that are written in a heavy academic style.
We ask that authors include any online resources referred to in a piece just within the piece itself which will be used during editing to link to any assertions made in the article.
An author is responsible for the accuracy of his/her article; check every single fact, including dates, the spelling of names, titles, timelines, numbers, and statistics. Hard-check any superlatives, for example: is this really the first, the worst, the only, the highest? etc
Please beware of inflected language, for example: “He slipped a provision into the Bill.” If the provision was added to the Bill using the normal procedure, then “Slipped” would be improper.
LegalReports has a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and AI-generated content/slop. Authors must produce stories with original phrasing and structure and attribute clearly.
Please note that your article will go through an Editor for purposes of light edits intended to meet our readability standards
HOW TO SUBMIT
If you have an article that meets the guidelines that you would like to send to us and share your ideas with the world, please send it to us through email: editor@legalreports.ug, along with the required attachments.
Note that we reserve the right to reject your submission with no explanation.
ENDS.
