Call for Articles
Write for the LexMentor Law Journal.
LexMentor invites original legal writing from students, advocates, researchers, academicians, policy professionals, and serious law learners. We publish clear, well-reasoned articles that make law easier to understand without reducing its depth.
Editorial focus
What we are looking for
A strong LexMentor Journal piece should do more than summarise the law. It should identify the legal issue, explain the rule or controversy, engage with authority, and leave the reader with a sharper understanding of the subject.
Criminal justice, policing, prison reform, bail, evidence, and procedural fairness
Legislative analysis, public policy, governance, and regulatory design
Case comments on important Supreme Court, High Court, tribunal, and international decisions
UPSC Law Optional, CLAT PG, legal education, access to justice, and exam-oriented legal writing
Technology law, privacy, platform regulation, artificial intelligence, and digital rights
Submission formats
Choose the format that fits your argument.
Short commentary
A focused argument on one judgment, Bill, policy move, or legal development. Best suited for timely pieces with a clear thesis.
Long-form article
A deeper doctrinal, constitutional, or policy analysis with structured headings, legal authorities, and a practical conclusion.
Case comment
A clean breakdown of facts, issues, holding, reasoning, and significance. We prefer comments that explain why the case matters.
Explainer for students
A reader-friendly explanation of a difficult doctrine, statute, amendment, or legal controversy for serious law learners.
