Subject: Torts Law Journal

The Torts Law Journal is published in Australia. It is now in its eleventh year of publication. The following description of its subject matter appears in each issue:

The Torts Law Journal aims to be of service both to the academic community and to practitioners, and high-quality contributions are sought from any quarter. The Journal publishes articles, notes, comments and reviews dealing with tort law and alternative compensation systems, and with other legal areas and topics that are related to or have implications for tort law and compensation systems. Analytical, theoretical and empirical approaches are all welcome, as are contributions detailing and analysing recent developments or dealing with issues of policy and law reform.

The Journal is not limited in its coverage to Australian law. Contributions dealing with the law of other jurisdictions or which take a comparative approach are encouraged.

This is a refereed journal and the content is controlled by an editorial board following a formal process of peer review. Each annual volume consists of three issues. Notes on the appropriate form and style of manuscripts submitted for publication may be found in the Style Guidelines in this issue.

The Table of Contents of each current issue is available at <http://www.lexisnexis.com.au/aus/services/tools/pdf_toc/tlj.pdf>
Volume 11(1) is there at present. 11(2) is in the press now. It contains a case note on the decision of the High Court of Australia in New South Wales v Lepore [2003] HCA 4; (2003) 195 ALR 412 and three articles on different aspects of the law of medical negligence.

In addition to the hard copies sent to subscribers, the TLJ is available on Lexis, under Legal > Legal (excluding U.S.) > Australia > Journals. People with access to LexisNexis Butterworths on-line are able to download articles in pdf format through <http://www.butterworthsonline.com/lpBin20/lpext.dll//bw/L34/108/btlj/1?f=templates&fn=bwaltmain-j.htm>

As General Editor of the TLJ, I would be happy to answer questions from prospective contributors.
