Editorial policy: We publish authors’ ideas in their own words. We fix typos and other mistakes, and make minor changes to adjust to Green Bag format. Additional suggestions are just that.
Author notes: We write them. We will note authors' gratitude to research assistants. Colleagues who make substantial contributions should share the byline. Colleagues who are helpful in small ways should be recognized in something printed by Hallmark, not the Green Bag.
Submissions: We welcome anything that is interesting, law-related, clear, and short – meaning no more than 5,000 words and 0 to 50 footnotes (which count against your 5,000). Letters are welcome.
Please send submissions to editors@greenbag.org. We will consider hardcopy in cases of hardship. If you must avail yourself of our hardship hardcopy policy, you may send your submission to:
The Green Bag
6600 Barnaby Street NW
Washington, DC 20015
Deadlines: August 1 for the Autumn issue; November 1 for Winter; February 1 for Spring; May 1 for Summer.
Dealing with authority: Citations should be accurate and unobtrusive. Authors may use any form they like; we will edit only to keep footnotes from looking like goulash.
