Elder Law Review

Call for submissions for Volume 6 (due for publication mid 2010)

We are delighted to inform our readers that Emeritus Professor Sol Encel has agreed to be our guest editor for Volume 6 of the Elder Law Review.

Notes to contributors

The theme of the forthcoming issue will be Grandparents

Original, unpublished contributions are invited for any of the following sections of the Review:

  • the refereed section containing scholarly articles about the legal/social/economic/policy issues associated with Grandparenting. While we will consider articles of any length, we prefer them to be between 3000 and 8000 words.
  • the Comments section, which consists of contributions from government, lawyers and aged care representatives, commenting on issues which the contributor perceives to be of contemporary significance within elder law.
  • News and Current Issues including legislative changes and case notes.
  • Elder Law in Practice which profiles legal practices, community projects, social justice initiatives and pro-bono schemes from all over the world that specifically target the legal needs of older people.

Papers must conform to the Australian Guide to Legal Citation which can be accessed at www.law.unimelb.edu.au/mulr/ In particular, contributors should note the conventions regarding footnotes and bibliographies.

Submissions must be received by 1 February 2010 and should be addressed to s.encel@unsw.edu.au

Contributors are reminded that papers should be written in clear language accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike and that submission of articles is no guarantee of publication, as the Elder Law Review is a peer reviewed journal and ERA ranked.
