 EDITORIAL CRITERIA OF IURA & LEGAL SYSTEMS

a) For all sections:

Before the first footnote (or, in the absence of footnotes, at the bottom of the first page) insert an asterisk, and then the author's academic qualification.

Ex: * Full Professor of... at...; PhD student in... at...; Graduate student in... at... etc.

TEXT

Times New Roman font, body 12.

Limit italics only for titles of works or journals (e.g.: Legal Nihilism, Labeo, Civil Law Review etc.) and for words in transliterated ancient languages (e.g.: crimen ambitus, pìstis, mohar).

For expressions in modern languages other than Italian, round in high inverted commas (not 'a caporale'): e.g.: the 'fiscal compact' (not 'fiscal compact' or 'fiscal compact').

In the case of words to be highlighted, underline them: e.g.: the eclipse of law. 

Never use boldface for highlighting (except for article titles), nor capital letters or italics (never: eclipse of the law, ECLISSI, or eclipse)

If it is necessary to separate the contribution into several paragraphs, open them with an arabic numeral, full stop and hyphen, and start the writing without carriage return.

E.g.: 1.

In case you want to put headings, insert them after the hyphen, in bold lower case, and then start the writing by heading.

Ex: 1.- Origins.

The origins of the institute...

In this case, before the text put a table of contents (written in capital letters) with the various headings (not in bold), separated by number, full stop and hyphen, with a semicolon at the end of each heading:

Ex: SUMMARY: 1.- The origins...; 2.- The period... etc.

Leave a space before the next paragraph.
