VULJ: Victoria University Law and Justice Journal is the flagship journal of the College of Law and Justice. VULJ is a generalist student-run law publication, under the supervision of an academic managing editor. VULJ aims to promote high-quality legal scholarship to all users of the law including academics, practitioners and students. The articles featured in VULJ are generally shorter and more topical than in traditional legal publications.

Once the Editors have successfully received a manuscript it will be immediately screened to ensure that the minimum procedural criteria have been satisfied. The Editors aim to notify contributors of the outcome of this review within one week.
All manuscripts successful beyond the initial review are forwarded to an expert in a given area of law. Once the first reviewer recommends the article for publication, the manuscript is forwarded to a second reviewer for commentary.
Once the article has been through the peer review process, the Editors will make a final decision on whether to offer the author a conditional publication offer. Should the author accept, the article will become the official copyright of VULJ.
