The WLF seeks to educate and increase awareness on legal issues relevant to feminist jurisprudence, to provide updates regarding recent developments in the field and to serve as a research tool to legal community.

The WLF intends to supplement and expand upon the offerings of traditional print journal. To accomplish this goal, the WLF encourages submissions from law students and professors, practicing attorneys, judges, and other legal professionals. Submissions may be articles, working papers, speeches, testimony, commentaries, letters to the editor or other forms of scholarship.

• Submissions may address broad theoretical concerns or specific issues.
   
• Submissions need not be of any particular length. They must however, be substantial enough to present, formulate, analyze and conclude an argument or thesis. Submissions will also be evaluated based on their written quality including organization, structure, style, and grammar.
   
• Submissions by law professors, practicing attorneys, judges and other legal professionals may be in the form of essays, working papers, speeches, or formal articles.
   
• Submissions by law students may be in the form of comments, directed research papers, or other legal writing.
   
• Submissions must comply with the legal citation rules of the seventeenth edition of the Bluebook and must be sent to the WLF in Microsoft Word 2000 Format.
