Submit to CILJ Blog Submissions

Thank you for your interest in writing for the CILJ Blog. Please complete the form below and upload your article as a Word document (.docx).

Blog Posts may be submitted at any time and are considered on a rolling basis. Submissions should not exceed 1,500 words and can be on any issues of international law, including EU law. Please do not submit unrevised university projects, or pieces under consideration elsewhere to the Blog directly. Please include hyperlinks to all sources in your submissions, without footnotes, unless crediting research support.

In 2023/24 we will be working on a turnaround time of 10 days from submission to taking a decision on whether to publish. However, over the holiday seasons the turnaround time will be longer and we will endeavour to get back to authors as soon as possible. 

Please send any queries to the CILJ Blog Managing Editor (blog@cilj.co.uk).
