LiveLaw, the legal news website, has issued detailed editorial guidelines for article submissions. The rules ban AI-generated or AI-rewritten content, require a clear contemporary thesis, and demand constructive criticism free of personal or partisan agendas. Articles must be 1,200, 1,500 words, submitted as Word documents with selective hyperlinks instead of footnotes. Submissions by lawyers on cases they have argued are not accepted. The guidelines aim to ensure original, grounded legal insight rather than generic or aggregated writing.
