Policies

The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies ("IJGLS") accepts unsolicited articles addressing legal issues engendered by globalization. Though IJGLS relies predominately on symposia for its content, articles received though the submissions process are an important part of IJGLS and will be reviewed and considered for publication.

The IJGLS is a unique journal in that it is peer-reviewed, and only publishes articles that are global in nature. IJGLS is not an international or comparative law journal. IJGLS takes an interdisciplinary approach to global legal issues, integrating perspectives of law, business, economics, philosophy, politics, science, and sociology, to develop unique solutions to current legal problems. Submissions that focus on the intersection of legal and academic disciplines with globalization, as characterized by the movement of peoples, ideas, and goods without regard to borders, are preferred.
