Yale Journal of International Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yale Journal of International Law (YJIL) is a student-edited international law journal at Yale Law School in New Haven, CT. The Journal was founded in 1974 by a group of students who were followers of the New Haven School of international law, and their publication was originally known as Yale Studies in World Public Order. The first issue was dedicated to Myres S. McDougal and Harold Lasswell, two scholars of the New Haven School. YJIL is Yale Law School's oldest secondary journal still in publication and will publish its 34th volume in the 2008-09 school year.

In recent years, YJIL has hosted various symposia at Yale Law School, covering such topics as:

  • The "New" New Haven School (2007)
  • Nation Building in the Middle East (2005)
  • Reflections on the International Court of Justice’s Oil Platforms Decision (2004)
  • Current Pressures on International Humanitarian Law (2003)
  • Reflections on the International Court of Justice’s LaGrand Decision (2002)
