Emergency Call for Submissions: Georgetown Immigration Law Journal
On Friday, January 20, 2017, millions watched as Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. Throughout his campaign, President Trump advocated for controversial changes to U.S. immigration policy, including, but not limited to, mass deportations, faith-based travel bans, and a border wall. President Trump’s policy proposals have been, and will continue to be, scrutinized on legal, moral, and feasibility grounds by scholars across the world.
As the nation’s only law journal devoted to the study of immigration law and policy, the Georgetown Immigration Law Journal (GILJ) will contribute to this ongoing discussion surrounding President Trump’s developing immigration policy. It is in this spirit that we are instituting an emergency “call for submissions” from now until Friday February 24, 2017. Submissions of scholarly articles related to upcoming changes to immigration policy under the new administration will receive priority consideration for publication, and three of those article submissions will be featured in our spring issue, GILJ Volume 31.3.
All submissions will be subject to the usual benchmarks for publishable writing, so they must be thorough, accurate, and well-written to receive publication offers. GILJ addresses immigration issues related to human rights, national security, international, labor, constitutional, criminal, and administrative law, so if you have ever considered writing a piece on ny of these issues, I hope that you will take this crucial opportunity to do so.
If you are interested in being published, we ask that you create an account and submit your article via ExpressO, which can be found at http://law.bepress.com/expresso/index.html#index_main. For any general questions you might have, please feel free to reach out to us directly at lawgilj@georgetown.edu or nms70@law.georgetown.edu.
Best regards,
