To support the next generation of socio-legal scholars studying topics related to Asia, the Asian Journal of Law and Society (AsianJLS) is launching an annual competition for the best paper in the field of law and society written by a graduate student. The author must be a student enrolled in a postgraduate program in law, social sciences, or other related disciplines when the paper was submitted. Coauthored papers with one or more faculty members are not eligible, but coauthored papers by two or more graduate students are eligible. Papers focusing on law and society in Asia are especially encouraged, and excellent papers on other socio-legal topics will also be considered.
All submissions will be evaluated by a committee consisting of AsianJLS editors and invited experts. The winning paper will be published in the Asian Journal of Law and Society and the author(s) will receive a book award of up to $300 Cambridge University Press e-books.
Please submit your article as a Microsoft Word document to [email protected] by October 1, 2021. In the submission email, please indicate that (1) you intend to be considered in the competition, (2) you are currently a student in a postgraduate program, and (3) you have not submitted your article to the AsianJLS or any other journals for publication. Submissions are limited to one paper per student.
Submissions must include a title page with the author’s institutional affiliation, mailing address, email address, an abstract of no more than 200 words, and a word count of the paper. The total length of submissions, including footnotes and references, must not exceed 10,000 words.
The Paper Selection Committee will be organized by the Editorial Office of Asian Journal of Law and Society.
