Overview

The Georgetown Journal of International Law was established in 1968 as the Georgetown Journal of Law and Policy in International Business. As it developed, it expanded its focus to include other topics with international dimensions, such as human rights issues and environmental treaties. Nowadays it covers the full range of legal topics in international law.

The journal publishes four issues per year. Three issues contain academic articles and student notes on contemporary topics of international law. The first issue, the International Trade Review, contains practitioner commentaries on developments in international law relevant to current practitioners.
