The North East Law Review is a law journal edited by students and members of staff at the Newcastle Law School. We invite contributions of the UK undergraduate and postgraduate students exploring various aspects of law and emerging technologies.

We are particularly interested in articles (up to 8,000 words, including footnotes) and
essays (up to 4,000 words, including footnotes) addressing the following issues: topics relating to the Online Safety Bill or Digital Services Act, competition and regulation in digital markets, online platforms and digital advertising, intersection of competition and privacy/data protection, Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum and other topics relevant to Law and Emerging Technologies.

As students of Law, you use emerging technologies in your daily lives more than any other generation. Many of you will manage to combine this advanced understanding of the latest technological trends with robust and original legal thinking. It is not often that you will have an opportunity to publish your exceptional pieces of work and share your well-researched analysis within the broader likeminded UK student legal community. We encourage students with exceptional pieces of work to submit to this Special Issue of the North East Law Review on ‘Law and Emerging Technologies’, and we invite academics noting such student papers to share this Call with the relevant students.

All submissions should be sent as Word Documents to nelr@newcastle.ac.uk. The papers will be reviewed by the editorial team. Those selected for publication will be provided with the necessary feedback, comments and the North East Law Review Style Guide.

The closing date for submitting the papers is 3rd February 2023. The outcomes of the
selection process will be communicated to each author by 3rd March 2023. Successful
submissions will then need to be finalised, edited and formatted in line with the North East Law Review’s Style Guide by 3rd April 2023.

Please send all your queries to nelr@newcastle.ac.uk
