From the Guidelines
The ABA Journal will consider queries from professional writers or from potential sources on subjects that might be of interest to our readers. If you are interested in writing for the ABA Journal, we urge you to include your resumé and published clips when you contact us with story ideas. Our stories require that writers use outside research, that they interview multiple sources and experts on the subjects they cover and present a fair and balanced view of controversial topics. We don’t publish academic-type papers or law journal articles.
The ABA Journal also wants to host and facilitate conversations among lawyers about their profession. We are now accepting thoughtful, nonpromotional articles and commentary by unpaid contributors to run in the Your Voice and Mind Your Business sections of our website, ABAJournal.com.
