Submission Guidelines

Submissions should be between 800 and 1000 words in length.

Along with your suggested contribution, please email us a short biography (max 150 words) and a photo of yourself. Kindly include any relevant governmental, institutional or other professional affiliations. 

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to request more information in order to assist us in making publication choices. All posts will be reviewed by the blog's editorial team. Contributors can expect at least one revision of their posts, and publication is never assured.

Contributors must avoid making use of any language that might be regarded as defamatory, as with any professional writing.

Please do not make use of footnotes; instead, hyperlinks and/or internal parenthetical references are preferred. 

African Law Matters is the only place where guest posts can be submitted. Before cross-posting elsewhere, contributors must first acquire our approval.
