Each year the DePaul Journal of Health Care Law publishes articles on health law subjects of current interest to health care practitioners, legal researchers and scholars, and health care professsionals. Here are a few frequently asked question on what we look for and how to submit your work:

What kind of submissions do you you look for?
The editors welcome submission of manuscripts by established scholars in the field of health care law, as well as the broad field of health care where matters of ethics, medical practices or economics have legal implications.

The editors have a special interest in articles addressing issues of concern to practicing health lawyers; one of the ways this objective can be met is to obtain articles from lawyers about subjects that occur in their practice. Most of the articles published in the Journal average thirty to fifty double spaced typewritten pages in manuscript form, plus footnotes.

Who should submit articles?
In addition to scholars in the field of health care law, we encourage all health care attorneys to consider submitting manuscripts for publication in the Journal. Articles may be derived from recently prepared legal memoranda, briefs or presentations involving health care law. Colleagues may be enlisted as coauthors. This publication also aims to publish work by young scholars and advanced students whose analysis of the law and review of recent developments provide fresh insight into traditional and emerging issues in health care law.

What should submissions include?
All submissions must include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae or resume, an electronic and hard copy of the article (in Word or WordPerfect format), and contact information (e-mail address and telephone number).

How should I submit my article?
Submissions should be sent to the following address:

DePaul Journal of Health Care Law

What are the formatting requirements for submissions?
