For Authors

As the official law journal of the American Bar Association’s Section on Dispute Resolution and most cited journal in the field of ADR, the Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution (JDR) has received and published many high quality articles from leading practitioners and scholars alike. We realize that the JDR is just one of many academic law journals that authors consider. Nevertheless, we would appreciate, though we do not require, that authors comply with the following standards:

Please send us only manuscripts that are related only to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR includes, but is not limited to, the following examples: mediation, arbitration, med-arb, negotiation, summary judgments, and mini-trials.

Please use footnotes instead of endnotes. As much as possible, we would request that the citation form comply with the 20th Edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, and the grammar comply with The 14th Edition of the Texas Law Review Manual on Usage and Style. Please double-space both the text and footnotes of your article. Please use 12-point font.

We try our best to evaluate articles consistently, both individually and in light of other articles already accepted for publication. If an expedited review is requested, please notify us of the date you need our decision.
