The Military Law Review accepts manuscript submissions from
military and civilian authors. Both a relevant subject matter expert and the MLR board
of editors review any work submitted for publication. In determining whether to publish
a work, the board considers the work in light of MLR’s mission and evaluates the
work’s argument, research, and style.
No minimum or maximum length requirements exist, though generally, the MLR
publishes pieces that are thirty pages or more when double spaced with 1-inch margins
and 12-point font.
Footnotes should be numbered consecutively from the beginning to the end of
the manuscript rather than by section.
Citation standards require a citation for every factual assertion throughout
the piece.
Citations must conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation
(21st ed. 2020) and the Military Citation Guide (25th ed. 2022).
Submissions should provide biographical data for each author, including
branch of service, duty title, present and prior positions or duty assignments, all
degrees (with names of granting schools and years received), and previous publications.
If submitting a lecture or paper prepared in partial fulfillment of degree
requirements, the author should include the date and place of delivery of the lecture or
the date and source of the degree.
Submissions must be in Microsoft Word format and should be sent via
email to the Editor, Military Law Review, at
