GUIDELINES AND FORMAT FOR NARBLA ARTICLES: GUIDELINES: Papers presented at the 2010 Annual Conference will be considered for publication in the Business Law Review. In order to permit blind refereeing of manuscripts for the 2010 Business Law Review, papers must not identify the author or the author's institutional affiliation. A removable cover page should contain the title, the author's name, affiliation, and address. If you are presenting a paper and would like to have it considered for publication, you must submit four clean copies, no later than April 3, 2010 to: Professor William B. Read Husson University 1 College Circle Bangor, Maine 04401 Even though the deadline for paper submissions to Bill Read is April 3, 2010, please notify Bill by March 5, 2010, at readw@husson.edu if you intend to submit a paper for publication so he can line up the appropriate number of reviewers. The Board of Editors of the Business Law Review will judge each paper on its scholarly contribution, research quality, topic interest (related to Business Law or the Legal Environment), writing quality, and readiness for publication. Please note that, although you are welcome to present papers relating to teaching Business Law, those papers will not be eligible for publication in the Business Law Review.
