FROM THE EDITOR.

This article presents information on the editorial policies of the journal "Law & Society." The journal has a definite preference for shorter rather than longer manuscripts. It will consider manuscripts exceeding 50-60 double-spaced typewritten pages, but are likely to ask for some cuts if accepted. It is the policy of the journal not to review a manuscript actively under consideration at another journal, unless there are compelling exceptional circumstances brought to the journal's attention by the author at the time of submission. Manuscripts submitted to the journal and submitted elsewhere without full disclosure, will be summarily rejected. This policy is comparable to that of most major social science journals. A manuscript will not be considered for publication which has been published elsewhere in the English language, or which is drawn from an already published book likely to be available the readership. This policy does not affect a manuscript which, at a later date, is to be incorporated into a book by the author on the same subject.
