Journal of the Australasian Law Teachers Association

The Journal of the Australasian Law Teachers Association (JALTA) is an electronic double blind peer reviewed journal. Established in 2008, JALTA is  published annually and subsequent to the Association’s annual conference. It is common for each issue of JALTA to be based on a theme for which a specific call for papers will be made.

JALTA publishes articles of between 2,500-5,000 words in length, though articles that are longer than this limit may be considered for publication on a case-by-case basis by the Editor-in-Chief. There is no prescribed number of articles for each issue of JALTA. All submissions should be made by email in double spaced 12 point Times Roman font. An Abstract of approximately 100 words should be submitted on a separate page.

Only papers presented at the ALTA Annual Conference are eligible for submission for publication in JALTA, subject to editorial discretion and to the peer review process.  Submissions must be made to: jalta@alta.edu.au
