Upon receipt of submissions for publication, the paper is assessed by a selected team of experts to determine whether the paper sought to be published falls within the scope and thematic areas of AJLEE which are Law, Ethics and Education. Thereafter, the paper is sent to a reviewer with expertise in the field in which the paper is written.

Upon a thorough review, the paper is sent back to the Author either for major correction, minor corrections or outright rejection owing to the quality of research being sought to be published in the paper in line with the editorial policy of AJLEE. Upon compliance with the reviewer’s comments, the paper is scheduled for publication but sent back to the author for a final check in a typeset journal format. Upon verification of the edited and corrected paper, and due execution of the Copyright Agreement, the paper is published in the next edition for which the paper is scheduled.
