About the Journal
Founded in 1985, the Connecticut Journal of International Law publishes articles covering a range of topics in international and comparative law, including analysis of the extraterritorial effects of domestic law and policy. Past publications have examined, amongst other things, developments and issues in intellectual property, corporate, human rights, trade, national defense, and environmental law. The Journal publishes 2-3 issues per year.
CJIL leads discussion and debate on current legal issues through our annual Symposium. Symposiums bring together experts and legal scholars to examine developments and problems in law and society through an international and comparative lens. Symposiums offer attendees a chance to engage with leading scholars in the field as well as law students, local and international lawyers, and interested members of the public. These events usually take place in early spring and are free to attend.
We thank you for your interest in CJIL, and encourage you to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Journal Management
CJIL is managed by the Executive Board, Editorial Board, and Associate Members.
The Executive Board oversees all stages of the publication process, manages the Journal‘s administrative and financial affairs, and makes decisions on behalf of the Journal. The Executive Board includes the Editor-in-Chief, Managing and Assistant Managing Editors, and the Administrative Editor. These Executive Board members also serve on the Editorial Board.
The Editorial Board selects articles for publication, conducts preemption checks, communicates with authors, edits article drafts, offers research guidance, hosts the annual Symposium, and selects Associate Members, amongst other things.
Associate Members review articles selected for publication to ensure conformity with the Bluebook and perform source checks to ensure that all citations are accurate and relevant. Associate Members also are required to write a Note or Comment, guided by the Editorial Board and UConn faculty, that examines a topic of their choice in international or comparative law. The highest quality of these Notes and Comments are often published by the Journal.
