Cambridge International Law Journal

Last updated

History

Since its establishment in 2011, the journal has published three issues in its first volume, and four issues in the second volume, which addressed a range of topics including international law and dispute settlement, EU Law, human rights and comparative law [6] providing a platform for both young and well-established academics to engage in dialogue with each other through publications in the journal. The journal has a double-blind peer-review process with an academic review board [7] of eminent scholars in the field of International and Comparative Law. In its first two volumes, the journal has published a number of articles by prominent academics, established practitioners and pre-eminent judges, including Sir Christopher Greenwood of the International Court of Justice.

The senior treasurer of the journal is James Crawford and the current editors-in-chief are Daniel Clarry, Valentin Jeutner, and Cameron Miles. [8]

CJICL Annual Conference

The journal hosts an International and Comparative Law Conference annually at Cambridge, usually at St John’s Divinity School. The first Conference discussed the theme "Agents of Change: The Individual as a Participant in the Legal Process" and was attended by about. 110 participants from all over the world - Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia – and at all stages in their academic career: from graduate students and young academics to established professors and practitioners. [9] The second annual conference was held in May, 2013 on the theme of "Legal Tradition in a Diverse World", which saw ca. 150 participants presenting over 50 papers and included a key note address by Judge Yusuf of the International Court of Justice, a key note debate between Professors James Crawford and Alain Pellet chaired by Professor Catherine Redgwell [10] and a key note lecture by Professor H. Patrick Glenn.

UK Supreme Court Review

The journal publishes an annual special issue, the 'UK Supreme Court Review' that examines the decisions of the UK Supreme Court from the preceding judicial year. It is the only journal to produce a full issue review of the previous three terms of the work of the UK Supreme Court. I [11] The past two issues of the UK Supreme Court Review have featured articles from judges of the highest appellate courts internationally, including, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers (formerly the President of the UK Supreme Court), Justice Marie Deschamps of the Supreme Court of Canada, Justice Hayne of the High Court of Australia, and Justice Gummow (formerly of the High Court of Australia).

CJICL Online

The journal also maintains an online platform (called CJICL Online) which aims to provide a forum for discussion of on-going legal affairs related to the subject. Two blog posts [12] on the site gained particular popularity when Julian Assange (who mistakenly believed their texts were related to the Cambridge Law Journal) cited them in an interview with the BBC.
