About
the Australian and New Zealand Maritime Law Journal
The
Australia and New Zealand Maritime Law Journal (A&NZ Mar LJ) is
the
online incarnation of the Maritime Law Association of Australia and New
Zealand Journal (MLAANZ Journal).
Like its
predecessor,
A&NZ Mar LJ aims to publish significant and original works of
scholarship that make new contributions to different fields of maritime
law and commerce.
Unlike its predecessor,
A&NZ Mar LJ is
edited by selected students from Murdoch University, Western Australia
as part of their studies. They are under the supervision of Senior
Lecturer and General Editor Kate Lewins. A&NZMar L J also has
an
editorial board consisting of eminent judges, academics and
practitioners in Australia and New Zealand. From 2006, A&NZ Mar
LJ
will be published online, freely accessible to all who wish to visit
the site. Users who register at the site will be automatically notified
when a new journal issue is available.
The Editorial
Board
invites articles on any topic relevant to maritime areas of law
&
practice, such as shipping, law of the sea, marine insurance, offshore
energy and other related fields. (Articles need not be limited to
Australian and New Zealand law.) Short comments, book reviews and case
notes are also welcomed. Students are invited to submit work of a
sufficiently scholarly nature. The choice of publications lies with the
Editors, and where relevant, subject to peer review.
Contributors
may submit articles to be peer reviewed, or to be included in the
non-refereed section. Articles submitted for publication in the peer
reviewed section will be subject to a formal ‘double
blind’
review by a referee independent of the author.
Generally,
articles should be between 4,000 to 10,000 words, although longer
submissions will be considered. Casenotes and other types of
submissions will generally be shorter. The submission should be neither
published, nor submitted for publication elsewhere.
Authors
are to submit their work in final form at the journal website (link
above). The author must register at the website, then follow the steps
to upload the submission to the website. The author will receive a
confirming email once the process is complete.
All
enquiries can
be directed to the General Editor Kate Lewins, School of Law, Murdoch
University, Western Australia 6150. Email: K.Lewins@murdoch.edu.au
