First, please submit two (2) versions of your paper via ExpressO: one with all authors and affiliations, and one with authors and affiliations removed.
As a peer-reviewed law journal whose primary influence and outreach is related to those who teach business law, the Rocky Mountain Law Journal requires that all submissions substantially comply with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (20th Edition, as of Spring, 2015). The Journal welcomes submissions from other disciplines as well, but compliance with the Bluebook is mandatory.
If you are not familiar with Bluebook style and compliance, please consult with someone who does before submitting to our journal. Otherwise the article will likely not be considered for review and publication and could be desk rejected without review. Additionally, articles deemed to be inappropriate for this journal or lacking in overall quality may be desk rejected as well.
There is no minimum or maximum number of words. We are quite flexible otherwise, but look at previous editions of the journal for guidance on format, etc.
