Legal Lens invites insightful and well-researched article pitches that explore legal issues, case law, justice, and social impact — especially content that resonates with the UK legal environment. Our mission is to help individuals navigate the legal system, and we welcome your perspective.

Pitch an article

What we’re looking for

  • Share success stories or case studies that highlight personal or group experiences within the UK legal field
  • Provide practical advice for Litigants in Person (LiPs) in the UK
  • Uncover insights into the UK legal system and advocate for fairness

Example content

We are particularly interested in:

  • Case studies

    Real insights from LiPs and others.

  • Navigating key legislation

    Guides for the UK legal environment.

  • Advocacy tools

    Step-by-step resources for navigating issues.

The process

  1. Step 1

    How to submit a pitch

    To propose an article, please submit a brief proposal (just a few lines) that outlines your idea and explains its relevance to our UK audience.

    Your pitch should be clear, concise, and aligned with our core mission of transparency, independence, and support for LiPs in the UK.

  2. Step 2

    Our editorial process

    Once your pitch is accepted, we work with you to develop your article: review, careful editing, and fact-checking against the standards set out in our editorial standards.

    We strive to ensure each published piece is both informative and aligned with our mission to support our UK audience.

  3. Step 3

    Response time

    If your pitch is taken forward, you will hear from us within one week of its receipt. We cannot respond to every proposal individually — if you do not hear back within that period, your pitch was not suitable this time.

    We still encourage future submissions.

Diversity & inclusion

We are committed to amplifying diverse perspectives, particularly those from underrepresented groups within the UK legal field. If you identify with a community that is often overlooked in media, we strongly encourage you to share your perspectives with us.

Your contributions can help shed light on systemic issues and advocate for meaningful change within the legal sphere.
