Theoretical pieces are also welcome in this category.

II. Essays/Short Articles (1500-3000 words, Excluding footnotes) Essays/short articles are more concise in scope and are focused on a particular issue and offer new perspectives and critical insights on the selected topic.

III. Case Notes and Legislative Comments (1200-2500 words) This category is meant for the analysis of any contemporary judicial pronouncement, legislative action, or policy proposal. Notes and Comments must trace the line of cases in which the decision appears and comment on its implications on the evolution of that branch of law.
