The Texas International Law Journal is a student-edited law journal at the University of Texas School of Law. It is the fourth-oldest student-edited international law journal in the United States.
The journal was created in the wake of the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis with the encouragement and support of E. Ernest Goldstein. It published its first issue in January 1965 and has been in continuous publication since. It has attracted noted authors, including former Supreme Court of the United States Justice William O. Douglas. Over the years, it has been cited by courts at all levels, including the Texas Supreme Court.
Additionally, the journal organizes a symposium every year, with speakers from the United States and around the world. Recent titles include: A Conference on the Military Commissions Act, Representing Culture, Translating Human Rights, Judicialization and Globalization of the Judiciary, Symposium on International Litigation Honoring Russell J. Weintraub, International Symposium in Honor of Hans Baade: Teaching and Practicing Law in the 21st Century, Energy and International Law: Development, Litigation, and Regulation, Human Reproduction and International Law, and International Bankruptcy Law: Comparative and Transnational Approaches.
As of 2008[update], there were 118 student members working on the journal.
