The Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (UACDL) and the Criminal Law Section of the Utah State Bar jointly publish the Utah Journal of Criminal Law as a service to their members. Further, all judges in the State of Utah receive free copies. The journal is published twice a year in the spring and fall.
The Editorial Board welcomes submissions of an academic nature including original articles, case notes, comments, practice checklists and pointers, book reviews, tributes, etc. Articles may be defense - or prosecution - oriented but must be balanced discussion of an academic nature.
Persons interested in submitting articles for publication should email submissions to executivedirector@uacdl.org. The deadline for the spring issue is September 1 and March 1 for the fall issue. Articles accepted for publication will be edited by a judge or academic editor, criminal defense lawyer, and prosecutor for completeness and scholarly content. The journal generally follows The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (19th ed. 2010) but emphasizes all easily readable and understandable citation forms. Cite as: 1 UTAH J. CRIM L. __ (2014).
