The Labor Law Journal is a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone interested in labor law. It's a quarterly publication that's been around since 1965, providing in-depth analysis and commentary on the latest developments in the field.

One of the standout features of the Labor Law Journal is its comprehensive coverage of labor law cases. Each issue features a section dedicated to summarizing and analyzing recent court decisions, providing readers with a clear understanding of how the law is being applied in real-world situations.

The journal also offers a wealth of information on labor law trends and issues. In fact, it's been a leading source of information on the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) since 1965.

Submission and Review

The submission and review process for Labor Law Journal articles is rigorous and designed to maintain the highest standards of quality and ethics.

The journal employs a blind peer review model, which means that both the author and reviewer identities remain anonymous, promoting impartiality and objectivity in the review process.

Not every submission will progress to peer review, and if it doesn't, the Editors and Editorial Committee may decline it without providing detailed feedback.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions to the Australian Journal of Labour Law are accepted on a rolling basis.

You'll need to submit your work as a Microsoft Word document, as PDF files or links to external sites aren't accepted.

Submissions must be in their final form, not a draft. This means you should have a complete and polished manuscript ready to go.

The Australian Journal of Labour Law Style Guidelines are recommended for submissions, and following them as closely as possible is a good idea.

No fees are charged for manuscript processing, which is a big plus.

The standard length for an article is around 8-10,000 words, but the journal doesn't impose strict word limits.

You'll need to include an abstract of 100-150 words with your submission.

Footnotes are preferred over endnotes in submissions.

Limit your use of graphics, tables, graphs, images, and diagrams to only the most essential instances.

Not every submission progresses to peer review, and authors may not receive detailed feedback if their submission is declined. This decision is made after consultation with the Editors and Editorial Committee.
