The Journal of Empirical Legal Studies is a peer-edited, peer-refereed, interdisciplinary journal that publishes high-quality, empirically-oriented articles of interest to scholars in a diverse range of law and law-related fields, including civil justice, corporate law, criminal justice, domestic relations, economic, finance, health care, political science, psychology, public policy, securities regulation, and sociology. Both experimental and nonexperimental data analysis are welcome, as are law-related empirical studies from around the world.

Author Guidelines For Manuscript Submission:

Thank you for your interest in submitting your work to the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies (JELS). At the request of our publisher, we have transitioned to a new online submission platform.

Going forward, all manuscripts must be submitted through the system by following the instructions at the following link:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/17401461/homepage/forauthors.html

Because of this change, we are no longer able to process submissions sent to us by email. Any manuscripts emailed to jels@cornell.edu will need to be resubmitted through the online platform in order to enter our review process.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to receiving your submission through the new system.

Sincerely,
The Editorial Board
Journal of Empirical Legal Studies
