Submission Guidelines
ASCE encourages the submission of scholarly and practice-oriented articles to its journals. Before you submit an article, please review the scope statements for ASCE's journals on the journals home pages to ensure that you are submitting your work to the journal that is best suited for it. Then consult our resources for authors, especially the sections about types of journal content, length of journal submissions, and manuscript preparation.
The Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction adheres to the same submission guidelines used by other ASCE journals, with some content and style policies tailored to accommodate the specific subject matter. Click here for details.
