The North Carolina Journal of International Law (NCJIL) is a student-run legal journal published at the University of North Carolina School of Law. The Journal prints articles, comments, and notes written by professors, practitioners, and students. The journal publishes pieces reflecting all aspects of law affecting the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1975, a group of students and professors at the UNC School of Law recognized the growing influence of international law on the North Carolina business community and founded NCJIL as a means of connecting the academic community with international law firms and businesses. The fledgling journal, under the guidance of law student Henry Burwell, began operation on a meager budget and produced its first issue of three articles totaling 107 pages.* In the following decades, the journal has continued to grow, and currently publishes three issues per volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each issue has a circulation of about 300 subscribers. The majority of the current subscribers are the libraries of law schools, major law firms, and large corporate legal departments, but rapid subscription growth is enabling the Journal to reach more medium and small firms, as well as foreign governments, law schools, libraries, and Westlaw and Lexis\/Nexis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Journal has two principal goals. First, to provide practical information on international law for the growing number of attorneys and businesspersons involved in international affairs. Second, to provide writing experience to UNC Law students. In pursuit of the latter goal, the Journal\u2019s policy has always been to accept as many student pieces for publication as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, NCJIL’s annual symposium features legal scholars and practitioners discussing the impact of contemporary issues on international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
