Call for Submissions
The Howard Human & Civil Rights Law Review (“HCR”) invites article submissions for Volume VIII.

We strongly prefer submissions that are 25,000 words or less and in Microsoft Word format (.docx). In addition, all text must be justified and double-spaced in 12-pt size Times New Roman font, and all sentences must have two spaces after each period. Further, all text and citations should conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (21st ed. 2020). Lastly, please use footnotes rather than endnotes.
