About the journal
In an opinion survey published in The International Lawyer, senior scholars in the international and comparative law fields ranked the Harvard International Law Journal as having the ¡°strongest academic reputation¡± of all student-edited international and comparative law specialty journals published in the United States.
The ILJ publishes articles on international, comparative, and foreign law, the role of international law in U.S. courts, and the international ramifications of U.S. domestic law. These articles are written by the most prominent scholars and practitioners in the field and have been recognized as important contributions to the development of international law. ILJ articles have been cited in decisions by the United States Supreme Court, European Court of Justice, International Court of Justice, Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, and World Trade Organization Dispute Panels.
The ILJ also publishes student-written work. In addition to an annual Student Note Competition, the ILJ publishes student-written pieces on recent developments in international law and reviews of new books in the field. A recent ILJ article won the International Law Students Association¡¯s Francis Deak Prize for the top student-written article published in a student-edited international law journal.
The ILJ also leads discussion and debate on international law at HLS by hosting various speakers and symposia. Recent symposium topics have included ¡°International Law and the Developing World¡± and ¡°Emerging Fora of International Dispute Resolution.¡±

Expedited Reviews

To request an expedited review, please contact the Managing Editor via email iljsubmissions@law.harvard.edu.

The ILJ will try to accommodate authors' requests, but may require authors to request extensions to ensure that the manuscripts receive full and appropriate consideration.
The Selection Process
A Submissions Committee comprised of both J.D. and LL.M./S.J.D. candidates reviews articles once they are received. The ILJ Executive Board makes final decisions regarding publication. The ILJ faculty advisers at Harvard Law School are frequently consulted on the evaluation of articles. Once an article has been selected, the Editors-in-Chief will contact the author with a contract and further information on the publication process. The ILJ editorial process is a rigorous one, and authors should expect to work closely with Journal staff on substantial substantive and technical revisions prior to final publication.
