Please submit articles formatted in .doc or .docx in Times, Times New Roman, or Courier Fonts, double-spaced, using 12-point font.

Please provide an article summary or “abstract” to your article, as well as an introduction. Please use accurate and descriptive headings and subheadings for each section. A table of contents is recommended, but optional.

There are no length restrictions. The author’s discretion should determine the appropriate length.

Citations

Text and citations should conform to the 21st edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. Footnotes or endnotes are accepted. Please footnote each sentence and provide a source. The only sentences that should not include a footnote are analyses and opinions made by the author.

SPECIAL NOTE ON CITED SOURCES The Tulane Maritime Law Journal takes great pride in its editorial process, which primarily involves conducting thorough due diligence by reviewing each source cited in an article chosen for publication. To facilitate this process, all cited sources must be readily accessible via the standard legal / academic research tools (court reporters, Lexis/Westlaw/InterLibrary Loan, HeinOnline, etc.).

Authors selected for publication must be prepared to supply those sources that are not available via the standard legal / academic research tools. Authors selection for publication must cite to sources that are in English. For those sources that are not in English, the Author must be prepared to provide English translations for those sources. Articles may be precluded from publication if in the Senior Articles Editor's due diligence, they find that an Article's sources are either inaccessible, not offered in English, or that the Author is not able and/or willing to assist with providing, in appropriate form.
