Frequently Asked Questions

Who writes for NoviceLaw?

Just like all other legal journals, NoviceLaw is a culmination of articles that are sent in by our readers. We have structured our platform so that anyone, despite level of education, is able to submit a piece for approval by our panel, and ultimately to be published to our website. We encourage all of our readers to develop and create their own political and legal theories and to work on a piece that could eventually become published to our website. No one is too young to share their ideas, and we hope that each and every one of you will take the time to share your thoughts, because our website is only as good as content that is submitted to us!

How do submissions get put on the website?

A panel of ten (10) students, all either in high school or college, have been selected by our founder and are tasked with deciding which pieces are published on the official website. It is at the discretion of the panel how many pieces are published to the website, as well as how frequently new pieces are published. In order to be published, the panel must determine that the piece is (a) original, and (b) at a level that could be understood by the average college/high school student. Any other criteria is to be voted on by the panel of students.
