The editorial team welcomes submissions for the upcoming general issue (Issue 11) of Kent Law Review. We are keen to publish high quality, theoretically informed critical legal scholarship. As this is a general issue, the journal welcomes papers on a wide range of legal topics, including those within your studies and beyond. Interdisciplinary research is welcomed, provided that the main focus is on the law.
This is an exciting opportunity to publish your outstanding student work at an early stage in your career, and it is also an opportunity to polish your editorial skills.

Use of AI
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Submissions must represent the author’s own original work. The use of generative artificial intelligence tools (including large language models such as ChatGPT or similar systems) to produce, draft, or substantively develop any part of a submission is strictly prohibited. Any submission found to contain AI-generated content will be rejected.
Authors are strongly discouraged from using AI tools for language editing or proofreading. While we recognise that such uses may be difficult to monitor in practice, contributors are encouraged to submit work in their own voice, even where linguistic imperfections remain. The editorial team will provide copy-editing and proofreading support as part of the review process.
Please email any submission queries to kentlawreview@kent.ac.uk.
We look forward to reading your submissions.
