# Journal of Law and Economics (journal-of-law-and-economics)
## Journal positioning
JLE is the foundational Chicago law-and-economics journal, publishing empirical and applied economic analysis of law, regulation, crime, antitrust, and institutions. It rewards papers that bring credible data and economic reasoning to legal and regulatory questions, in the price-theory and empirical tradition associated with Chicago. The readership is economists and law-and-economics scholars, so a paper must combine a real legal/regulatory question with sound empirical or applied economic analysis.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the journal/University of Chicago Press site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names JLE as the target venue, or wants a Chicago-tradition law-and-economics home.
- An empirical paper studies the effects of law, regulation, crime, or antitrust with credible data.
- A regulation or institutions paper needs re-framing so the contribution reads as empirical law-and-economics, not legal doctrine or pure policy.
- The author needs JLE's desk-reject risks and a credible law-and-economics alternative list.
