Southwestern's Journal of International Law (formerly Southwestern Journal of Law and Trade in the Americas) complements Southwestern's extensive course offerings and faculty expertise in international and comparative law. Participation on the Journal allows students to develop their legal writing and research skills along with their substantive knowledge of topics covered by the Journal.
The Journal publishes scholarly notes and articles contributed by students and members of the legal community and sponsors related symposia. In doing so, the Journal explores areas such as international insolvency, environmental law, international trade issues, NAFTA, international arbitration, privatization in Central and South American countries, immigration, human rights, international crime, and a host of other comparative issues. Recent talks and symposia with proceedings later published in the Journal have included: Caroline Beer’s “Abortion Policy in Mexico: A Changing Role for the Supreme Court”, Javier Couso & Lisa Hilbink’s “Chile’s Failed Attempt to Get a New Constitution: Or the Challenges of Democratic Constitution Making in a Polarized Era”, a 2024 Law Journal Symposium on “Speech, Globalism, and Sovereignty”, Miguel de Dios’ “Institutional Design & Competition Policy in Argentina”, "2021: International Law Ten Years From Now," "The Future of the Exclusionary Rule: American and International Perspectives," "Arctic Sovereignty: Cold Facts, Hot Issues," "Abandoning the Inquisitor: Latin America's Criminal Procedure Revolution.”
Any student in good academic standing who has completed at least the first-year day, full-time Online, or SCALE program or at least the second-year part-time day, part-time Online, or PLEAS program may compete in the summer Write-On Competition to become a member of the research staff. Staff members are required to participate in a two-unit seminar taught by one or more of the Journal's advisors during the fall semester. The seminar focuses on journal research and writing skills. The seminar also offers a unique opportunity for students to research and write on any topic involving international law that interests them, with the guidance and assistance of faculty members. Research staff members who are recognized for outstanding contributions to the Journal are selected to serve on the editorial board during the subsequent year.

Submissions
The Southwestern Journal of International Law invites authors to submit lead articles which focus on novel legal developments, emerging global issues and ongoing legal conflicts in the area of international law. The Journal strives to produce lead articles that are especially pertinent to the dynamic intricacies of international law where technology, nationhood and divergent forms of legal theories and histories collide. Submissions that critique, compare and analyze the law of a single country or region outside the United States are welcome, as well as comparisons of law between the U.S. and other nations.
The Journal accepts submissions from jurists, professors, practitioners and students. Manuscripts should be typed or prepared on a computer and submitted in English with text double-spaced and footnotes single-spaced. Footnotes should comply with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (20th ed. 2015), and authors must be prepared to provide any cited source upon request. Submissions will be accepted on the understanding that their content has not been published elsewhere.
With their submissions authors should include an abstract of approximately 250 words and a resume or C.V. These documents should include a direct email address and phone number at which authors can be reached during the entire review process.
Submissions should be in Word or WordPerfect format. The Journal greatly appreciates all submissions and attempts to notify authors of acceptance or rejection as soon as possible.
Deadlines
The Journal accepts submissions on a rolling basis. Nonetheless, to be considered for the Winter issue, articles should be submitted by August; to be considered for the Spring issue, it is best to submit articles by December.
Please send submissions/questions to:

The Editing Process
The editorial board comprised of J.D. candidates reviews articles once they are received and makes the final decision regarding publication. The faculty advisers of the Journal may be consulted during the evaluation of articles.
If the article is accepted, the Editor-in-Chief sends a packet of information to the author, including a contract. Once the publication contract has been signed, an article team is assembled and the technical and substantive editing of the article commences. Once this editing is complete, the author is sent a final version of the article for review. After the author's review, the article is reviewed by the Journal's editorial board only for technical errors before being sent to the publisher.

Southwestern's Journal of International Law (formerly Southwestern Journal of Law and Trade in the Americas) complements Southwestern's extensive course offerings and faculty expertise in international and comparative law. Participation on the Journal allows students to develop their legal writing and research skills along with their substantive knowledge of topics covered by the Journal.
The Journal publishes scholarly notes and articles contributed by students and members of the legal community and sponsors related symposia. In doing so, the Journal explores areas such as international insolvency, environmental law, international trade issues, NAFTA, international arbitration, privatization in Central and South American countries, immigration, human rights, international crime, and a host of other comparative issues. Recent talks and symposia with proceedings later published in the Journal have included: Caroline Beer’s “Abortion Policy in Mexico: A Changing Role for the Supreme Court”, Javier Couso & Lisa Hilbink’s “Chile’s Failed Attempt to Get a New Constitution: Or the Challenges of Democratic Constitution Making in a Polarized Era”, a 2024 Law Journal Symposium on “Speech, Globalism, and Sovereignty”, Miguel de Dios’ “Institutional Design & Competition Policy in Argentina”, "2021: International Law Ten Years From Now," "The Future of the Exclusionary Rule: American and International Perspectives," "Arctic Sovereignty: Cold Facts, Hot Issues," "Abandoning the Inquisitor: Latin America's Criminal Procedure Revolution.”
Any student in good academic standing who has completed at least the first-year day, full-time Online, or SCALE program or at least the second-year part-time day, part-time Online, or PLEAS program may compete in the summer Write-On Competition to become a member of the research staff. Staff members are required to participate in a two-unit seminar taught by one or more of the Journal's advisors during the fall semester. The seminar focuses on journal research and writing skills. The seminar also offers a unique opportunity for students to research and write on any topic involving international law that interests them, with the guidance and assistance of faculty members. Research staff members who are recognized for outstanding contributions to the Journal are selected to serve on the editorial board during the subsequent year.

Submissions
The Southwestern Journal of International Law invites authors to submit lead articles which focus on novel legal developments, emerging global issues and ongoing legal conflicts in the area of international law. The Journal strives to produce lead articles that are especially pertinent to the dynamic intricacies of international law where technology, nationhood and divergent forms of legal theories and histories collide. Submissions that critique, compare and analyze the law of a single country or region outside the United States are welcome, as well as comparisons of law between the U.S. and other nations.
The Journal accepts submissions from jurists, professors, practitioners and students. Manuscripts should be typed or prepared on a computer and submitted in English with text double-spaced and footnotes single-spaced. Footnotes should comply with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (20th ed. 2015), and authors must be prepared to provide any cited source upon request. Submissions will be accepted on the understanding that their content has not been published elsewhere.
With their submissions authors should include an abstract of approximately 250 words and a resume or C.V. These documents should include a direct email address and phone number at which authors can be reached during the entire review process.
Submissions should be in Word or WordPerfect format. The Journal greatly appreciates all submissions and attempts to notify authors of acceptance or rejection as soon as possible.
Deadlines
The Journal accepts submissions on a rolling basis. Nonetheless, to be considered for the Winter issue, articles should be submitted by August; to be considered for the Spring issue, it is best to submit articles by December.
Please send submissions/questions to:

The Editing Process
The editorial board comprised of J.D. candidates reviews articles once they are received and makes the final decision regarding publication. The faculty advisers of the Journal may be consulted during the evaluation of articles.
If the article is accepted, the Editor-in-Chief sends a packet of information to the author, including a contract. Once the publication contract has been signed, an article team is assembled and the technical and substantive editing of the article commences. Once this editing is complete, the author is sent a final version of the article for review. After the author's review, the article is reviewed by the Journal's editorial board only for technical errors before being sent to the publisher.
