Counsel magazine: article submission guidelines

LexisNexis publishes a range of magazines and journals covering specialist subject areas.

Counsel magazine is published by LexisNexis on behalf of the Bar Council.

Counsel magazine welcomes articles and ideas for consideration. Please email your article or précis of the article to the Editor/Commissioning Editor of the magazine.

The article will be considered by the Commissioning Editor, the Consultant Editor, and if necessary by the Policy and Editorial Board who provide direction and guidance to the editors on behalf of the Bar Council. Authors will be notified as soon as possible of the decision on the acceptability of their article.

Authors are required to state that the article submitted has not been sent to any other magazine or journal.
