Article selection and editing procedures are summarised in the Author's Guide.
Articles should be submitted by email in DOC or DOCX format to:
lawreview.trinitycollege@gmail.com.

The Gernot Biehler Casenote Competition, open to first and second year undergraduate students from all universities who submit a casenote of 2000 words or less, features the same submission and deadline process as all other TCLR submissions. Casenotes should be 2000 words or less and critique a recent case. Authors who wish their submissions to be considered as part of this competition should indicate this in their submission email and state their year of study.
The winning casenote from 2010 can be viewed in the TCLR from that year: "An Analysis of the Courts' Interpretation of Article 40.1 in JD v. Residential Institutions Redress Committee" 13 TCLR 168.
Publication in the Trinity College Law Review represents a significant achievement and the culmination of valuable legal research and writing. As well as this, there are both monetary and internship prizes for the best articles. The Editorial Board looks forward to working with all prospective authors.
