Mission Statement
To attract, to
retain, and to serve non-resident members by meeting their professional
needs, and promoting collegiality with and among in-state
colleagues.
Call for Submissions
In the
spirit of reaching out, the Editor of the Association Journal, David C.
Wilkes, Esq., invites non-resident members to consider submitting an
article. You can "vet" your topic with him via email at journaleditor@nysbar.com.
Article Submission
Guidelines
General
The Journal encourages
article submissions on topics of interest to members of the Association.
Send all article materials and communications via e-mail with
attachments as needed to dmcmahon@nysba.org or dcwilkes@huffwilkes.com.
E-mail communication is strongly preferred; due to the volume of
submissions and proposals it is not possible for the editors to respond
to telephone inquiries in most cases. MCLE credit may also be earned for
legal-based writing directed to an attorney audience upon application to
the CLE Board.
NYSBA Guidelines for Obtaining MCLE Credit for
Writing as well as a Publication Credit
Application are available. Before writing an article, e-mail story ideas or opening
paragraphs to the Editor-in-Chief, David Wilkes, at dcwilkes@huffwilkes.com. He will write back with possible questions and
suggestions.
Articles must be well written, readable and interesting to
broad categories of membership. Avoid writing articles about highly
specialized, technical legal topics or procedures that most member
attorneys would not find useful. Write on topics that are newsworthy and
describe important developments in areas of the law of broad interest;
avoid introductory paragraphs that include phrases like, “in a
recent case decided by the Court of Appeals….”, and
laborious descriptions of the development of an area of law that consist
of repetitious accounts of the facts and holdings in a series of cases.
Write in an active voice, not passive. Avoid writing in the first
person. Avoid long sentences. With the exception of certain regular
columns, avoid too much informality, or attempting a chatty style; many
otherwise useful topics are rejected or returned for significant
re-writing when written in a style that is inappropriate for
the Journal.
The Journal rarely
publishes book reviews. Book reviews, when considered for publication,
are evaluated for objectivity, impartiality, and
originality.
The Journal reserves the
right to make final determinations without author approval as it deems
appropriate in the editing, format, and publication of all
submissions.
Overall article length of articles should run from 3,500 to
5,500 words, including endnotes; articles may be longer only if approved
by the Editor, required by the subject matter, and if the text is
well-written and to the point. Overall length of the columns that
regularly appear in the Journal (e.g., Metes
& Bounds, Planning Ahead, Computers & the Law, Legal Research,
Tax Alert, etc.) should run from 1,500 to 2,200 words, including
endnotes.
Format
Microsoft
Word is the preferred word-processing software. Keep format structure
simple. For example, use enter and tab keys for hard returns to start a
new paragraph, and the doubleindent key function for quoted material. If
uncertain about the capitalization of certain words or phrases, please
keep them lowercase for review by the Editor-in-Chief. All text should
be in Times New Roman, 12 point, double spaced, except for quotations
that are longer than three sentences, which should appear in block,
single-spaced form. Do not underline any text (such as when stating case
names; adding emphasis; etc.): use italics instead. Place periods and
commas before endnote numbers and quotation marks. Do not place
citations in body of the text.
Submission
Before
completion of the article, send the first 8 to 10 paragraphs to the
Editor-in-Chief, David Wilkes, for preliminary review, to ensure the
story track agrees with initial proposal, by e-mail as specified
above.
Citation
Authors are
responsible for the accuracy and format presentation of related cites.
In general, follow the Bluebook. Authors are responsible for accuracy of
all quoted material. Both official and parallel cites are required.
Notation style is endnote format, not footnotes. Notes should be of
reasonable length, i.e., not overly long, but with enough information to
back up sufficiently points made in the article. Every effort should be
made to limit the number of notes to only those most essential, and
avoid the extensive use of notes that might be more appropriate for a
law review format. Do not place case citations in the body of the
text.
