Frequently asked questions

May I reprint or photocopy for distribution material published by AJS?
In most cases, yes. It is necessary to obtain permission by completing the form on our Web site or contacting the publications director at drichert@ajs.org. Please indicate who you represent, specifically what you want to reprint (and whether you want to reprint in full or an excerpt), how the reprint will be used (name of publication, conference, etc.) audience, and how many copies. If it is to be used for commercial purposes a fee may be charged. Note, as stated on the contents page of Judicature, that up to 25 copies of an individual article may be made for educational purposes without permission.

Is AJS material available online?
Most items are only available for purchase through the AJS Store, although those for which there is no charge are available online in PDF format. Judicature and the Judicial Conduct Reporter are both available on Westlaw. In some cases a PDF of a Judicature article can be sent. Photocopies of individual articles may be obtained for a nominal charge.

Can I research Judicature and the Judicial Conduct Reporter online?
Indices for both are available on our Web site (go to Publications and Resources, click on Judicature or Judicial Conduct Reporter under AJS Periodicals). In addition, Judicature is indexed in Index to Legal Periodicals, Current Law Index, Legal Resource Index, Criminal Justice Periodical Index, and PAIS Bulletin.

I'm interested in submitting an article to Judicature, how do I do it?
Guidelines are available on our Web site (go to Publications and Resources and click on Judicature under AJS Periodicals).

I have a book I want to publish, can I send it to AJS for consideration?
AJS normally only publishes books that result from a project or study conducted by the Society.
