The Minnesota Journal of International Law is a student-led publication at the University of Minnesota Law School. We aspire to be a leader in the multidisciplinary study of international and comparative law. The Journal annually publishes two print volumes and one online edition. Each publication consists of articles and notes relating to various topics in international law—including international politics, trade and economics, and human rights. Our authors range from international scholars and legal experts to our very own student staffers.
Student staffers are selectively chosen after completing a competitive two-week petition process. Staffers are responsible for assisting in the editing process of publication and also spend many hours writing their own articles—either a “note” or a “comment”—which they are able to submit for publication. After spending one year as staffers, students are promoted to editorial positions. Editors work diligently to ensure the Journal remains a respected, qualified source of international law. Our staffers and editors play a key role in the Journal’s success and are an integral part of the Journal’s future.
On this website, you can find PDFs of the Journal’s previous publications divided by volume and issue numbers. You can also find blog posts written by our staffers and editors sharing their experiences and knowledge of numerous topics in international law. We are lucky to have such a diverse and talented group of law students and are excited to share our talents and interests with the world.
If you have any questions, concerns or comments, feel free to contact the Journal at mjil@umn.edu or at (612) 625-6884.
