The Georgetown Journal of International Law (GJIL) and the Consortium for the Study and Analysis of International Law Scholarship (SAILS) invite submissions for a special collaboration in Volume 57.4 of GJIL.
This issue will feature up to five scholarly articles (9,000–12,000 words) examining how international and comparative law scholarship is produced, disseminated, and engaged across the global legal community. Selected works will contribute to ongoing SAILS research themes exploring the intellectual, institutional, and sociological dimensions of international law publishing and its impact on the field.
Authors whose papers are selected for publication will have the opportunity to present their paper at Georgetown Law in the Spring semester
We welcome submissions that address, among other topics:
- The influence of international law journals on how scholars and practitioners conceptualize international law;
- Gaps in geographic, linguistic, or demographic representation in international legal scholarship;
- The role of professional and funding networks in shaping publication and citation patterns;
- Intersections between international, comparative, and foreign relations law and other disciplines, including political science and technology;
- Accessibility of international legal research and disparities in scholarly infrastructure across regions.
Submissions should adhere to the Bluebook, 22nd edition, for citations and follow standard academic formatting. Manuscripts will be selected through a joint review by GJIL editors and SAILS participants.
🗓️ Please submit manuscripts by February 15 to lawgjil@georgetown.edu, with the subject line “SAILS–GJIL Special Issue Submission” or via Scholastica.
