Journals

East European Constitutional Review

Since 1992, the East European Constitutional Review has covered the challenges and obstacles of postsocialist law and politics. Its aim is to give an in-the-trenches understanding of the dilemmas of postsocialist legal reform and to serve as a vital and lively forum for discussion and debate about pressing issues of the rule of law. The journal tracks the constitutional development of the region through quarterly offerings of academic articles, roundtables, and symposia by regional and foreign scholars. The journal also offers country-by-country updates — regular, balanced, empirical information gathered and presented by local experts. These updates, which map the process of constitutional and legal change, currently cover 19 countries. Together with its Russian-language sister edition, based in Moscow, the journal reaches academics, policy-makers, lawyers, judges, students, and activists in more than 50 countries. Its articles are also regularly translated into a dozen other languages and are consistently assigned as part of the law school curriculum in more than 30 countries. Professor Holmes is editor-in-chief of the journal.

European Journal of International Law

This prestigious journal, one of the leaders in developing new theoretical approaches to international law, is jointly headquartered in Florence, Italy, and at NYU. Professor Alston has been its Editor-in-Chief since 1996 and Professors Kingsbury and Weiler are also closely involved in the work of the journal.

I·CON: The International Journal of Constitutional Law

This journal, published by Oxford University Press as a project of NYU School of Law, is dedicated to transnational constitutional law. I·CON has international editorial and advisory boards and an international focus. It examines an array of theoretical and practical issues and offers critical analysis of current debates. In addition, I·CON looks at global trends that carry constitutional implications. It features articles by international legal scholars, judges, and academics from related fields, such as economics, philosophy, and political science. Professor Norman Dorsen chairs the editorial board.

Journal of International Law and Politics

Founded in 1968 with the aid of a Ford Foundation Grant by a group of students including current UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy (‘68), the Journal of International Law and Politics (JILP) features articles on international legal topics by leading scholars and practitioners, as well as notes, case comments, and book annotations written by student journal members. This student-edited journal is read by students, scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in more than 60 countries.

Students each year work with faculty in designing and organizing a symposium on a topic chosen by the JILP board. One recent journal symposium dealt with the United Nations and its role in regulating the use of force after Kosovo and Iraq. Other symposia that have resulted in influential special issues of the journal addressed such topics as the geopolitical significance of petroleum corporations in the international law of oil, the proliferation of international tribunals and possible fragmentation of international law, and the workings of the Hague Convention on international child abduction.

Other Journals

Student scholarship on international law also is regularly published in other Law School student-edited journals, such as the Law Review and the Environmental Law Journal.
