The Maryland Bar Journal is the Maryland State Bar Association's showcase publication. Each issue is devoted to a legal theme and this theme is carried through the magazine by the editorial content, the graphics, the photography and the cover. The Journal keeps members abreast of legal trends, informed about updates and changes in the law and educated with respect to substantive areas of the law.
Most issues contain seven to eight feature stories addressing various aspects of the theme.
Other articles of general legal interest are also included in each issue for balance. The Maryland Bar Journal welcomes articles on topics of interest to Maryland attorneys. All manuscripts must be original work, submitted for approval by the Special Committee on Editorial Advisory, and must conform to the Journal style guidelines , which are available from the MSBA headquarters. The Special Committee reserves the right to reject any manuscript submitted for publication. All advertising is subject to approval by the Editorial Advisory Board.
