Submission Guidelines

To ensure a smooth and error-free submission process, the Journal of Legal Contemplation (JLC) provides a step-by-step submission guide for all authors. This tutorial explains the complete workflow in the Online Journal System (OJS), including registration, manuscript submission, metadata completion, and final confirmation.
Authors are strongly advised to read this guide carefully before submitting their manuscript to ensure compliance with journal standards and to avoid technical or formatting errors.
