Overview

The Georgetown Journal of International Law (GJIL) is one of the nation's top resources for scholars and practitioners in the field of international law. [3]

The journal was established in 1968 as the Georgetown Journal of Law and Policy in International Business. [4] Nowadays, The Georgetown Journal of International Law publishes on a variety of topics, such as human rights, international humanitarian law, international security, trade, investment, business, taxation, international criminal law, and intellectual property; it also sponsors a bi-annual symposium. [5]

GJIL publishes four issues per year, including an International Trade Review, which offers a comprehensive snapshot of international trade law and includes practitioner commentaries on current developments in the field.

Membership

Today, GJIL employs approximately 100 second- and third-year law students—about 50 in their graduating year who serve in editorial positions and 50 in intermediate years who serve as staff. 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]

Students are offered positions on GJIL based on a combination of Write On score, first-year grades, and the candidate's socioeconomic background, including the student's race, sexual orientation, or gender. [7]

A law review or law journal is a scholarly journal or publication that focuses on legal issues. A law review is a type of legal periodical. Law reviews are a source of research, imbedded with analyzed and referenced legal topics; they also provide a scholarly analysis of emerging legal concepts from various topics. The primary function of a law review is to publish scholarship in the field of law. Law reviews publish lengthy, comprehensive treatments of subjects, that are generally written by law professors, and to a lesser extent judges, or legal practitioners. The shorter pieces, attached to the articles, commonly called "notes" and "comments", often are written by law student members of the law review. Law review articles often express the thinking of specialists or experts with regard to problems, in a legal setting, with potential solutions to those problems. Historically, law review articles have been influential in the development of the law; they have been frequently cited as persuasive authority by courts. Some law schools publish specialized reviews, dealing with a particular area of the law, such as civil rights and civil liberties, international law, environmental law, and human rights. Some specialized reviews focus on statutory, regulatory, and public policy issues.
