The journal was established in 1968 as the Georgetown Journal of Law and Policy in International Business.

The staff collect and check sources, performing technical edits and checking for typographical errors. The upperclass students are tasked with administering the Journal's daily operations.

In order to gain journal membership, first-year students are permitted to participate in the Write On competition after completing their final exams in the spring semester. The competition is administered by the Georgetown Law Office of Journal Administration. [6]
