III.

The Process

3.1. Do not plagiarise. The CLR Blog may use Turnitin or contact authors' academic institutions to prevent academic misconduct. The Review encourages authors to include a declaration of any conflicting interests with their submission.

 

3.2 The CLR Blog's editors select works based on selection criteria including conciseness, readability, legal accuracy, and the timeliness and relevance of the subject matter.

3.3 All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the submission should be listed as authors. All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in a section entitled 'Acknowledgements'.
