Inter Alia
Submissions for volume XI of our flagship publication, Inter Alia are now closed.
We are delighted to announce that the foreword to Volume XI will be authored by Lady Black of Derwent, former Justice of the UK Supreme Court.
The publication comprises long form essays and case commentaries on a subject of the writer’s choice. We mainly look for argumentative pieces that seek to contribute towards legal discourse by offering a new perspective on a contemporary subject in any area of the law. Inter Alia is an open access publication and will be published on our website as well as in hard-copy journal. This is an exceptional opportunity to demonstrate your research, analytical and writing skills. If successful, your published work may be an excellent addition to your CV.
