St. John’s Journal of International and Comparative Law (JICL)
is a student-edited online journal featuring scholarly articles and
student notes and comments on emergent issues of international and
comparative law. Published biannually, JICL offers a dynamic forum
where members of the academy, the bar and the judiciary, as well as
Journal members, publish articles and essays of timely concern
on nearly any legal issue that touches on international,
comparative or transnational topics. Members have the opportunity
to work under the guidance of the Journal's
faculty advisors and editors to produce a work of publishable
quality for consideration by JICL and the New York International
Law Review.
Journal members may be considered for third-year positions on the
Journal's Board
of Editors. As editors, students have the opportunity to gain
leadership skills, work closely with faculty members, participate
in selecting articles for publication, and network with leaders in
the field. Editors receive academic credit for their work on the
Journal.
JICL is the official student publication of the St. John’s
Center for International and Comparative Law (CICL), where
students, scholars and practicing lawyers come together to address
how globalization affects the practice of law and how the law can
be deployed to address emerging global challenges. Through the
broad range of curricular offerings, study abroad programs offered
by the Office of Transnational Programs, experiential learning
opportunities,
symposia and the participation of students in scholarly work,
CICL helps prepare students for practice in a globalizing legal
profession, using litigation, transactional and regulatory advisory
skills.
