Faculty & Professional Submissions
Lexicon publishes work by faculty and legal practitioners (legal professionals who are not in academia) who would like to communicate with an undergraduate or general audience.  Scholars and practitioners may wish to publish to have their work read by an especially inquisitive and intellectually hungry group of undergraduates.  Many of the selections in Lexicon will be also be suitable (and especially designed) for undergraduate classes with themes related to law and crime.

We do not review work that has been previously published elsewhere, unless granted prior permission from the editors.  All work submitted to Lexicon must be original, that is, the product of the author's.

All authors published in Lexicon will have the opportunity to engage in an ongoing conversation about their contribution with the journal’s readers through an electronic forum.

Submission Process
Please submit your work electronically.  Our review process for faculty and professionals is "blind" and conducted by peers with suitable training - and not by students.  We are also very interested in work co-authored with students.

The journal’s editors will also, on occasion, invite contributions from particular student, faculty, and professional authors.

All Lexicon authors retain the copyright to their work; we do require authors to acknowledge Lexicon in future publications based on their work.

Faculty are also invited to nominate or submit student work for publication.
