Our Publishing Agreement: Making an Official Commitment to Excellence in IICLE Publications
Our IICLE Press authors are all volunteers. Believe it or not, we are able to find some incredibly talented and professional folks to write for us year after year on a volunteer basis and they've been doing it for over 40 years. Why? Because they want to give something back to the profession and to the clients that the members of the bar serve.
So at IICLE Press we feel obligated to make the writing experience a good one for these dedicated authors and we also feel obligated to make sure that those attorneys who rely on our books as practice resources get quality updates in a timely fashion.
We view an author's participation in a project as a commitment to us, to the profession, and to the expansion of legal knowledge. Our Publishing Agreement simply allows us to make that commitment official, to establish a sense of professionalism and legal standards that outline the extent of that commitment, and to communicate the importance of the work we are about to embark on together.
We are proud of the fact that our authors take their volunteer work with IICLE so seriously that they are willing to literally "sign up" to contribute to our publications.
