For Authors

The Northwestern Journal of Human Rights is soliciting articles and blog posts for publication in 2024-2025.

What We Look For: The Journal of Human Rights seeks to offer a forum for scholars, practitioners, and law students to debate domestic and international human rights issues. By advancing human rights scholarship, the Journal aims to provide the legal community with the strongest arguments available to address human rights challenges. As a multidisciplinary publication, the Journal seeks contributions from professionals in all areas, including but not limited to law, business, ethics, political science, economics, religion, and sociology. Please do not submit articles that are unrelated to human rights.

How to Submit: All submissions must be in Microsoft Word, double-spaced and with one-inch margins. Authors should use footnotes, rather than endnotes, in citing to authorities. All footnotes and citations should conform to the most recent edition of the Bluebook or other acceptable formats. Please also include a current CV with any article submission.
