EDITORIAL GUIDELINES FOR ARTICLES SUBMISSION

These editorial guidelines are provided to assist you in understanding our basic criteria for article submissions.

GENERAL

Lawyerment reviewers are highly selective about articles that we accept. Only articles of general interest will be considered for publication. As a general rule, we accept articles that are not country- or brand-specific. Please write from a neutral point of view and that you have no conflict of interest.

Articles with blatant and excessive self-promotion, hype and keywords will be deleted without any notice!
