Online Articles

Online Articles present an opportunity for students, academics and practitioners from around the world to publish their work in JILP’s Online Forum. These pieces are generally shorter than traditional print articles and are intended to spotlight and assist those authors who may not otherwise be familiar with standard U.S. legal journal publication requirements. Authors go through several rounds of edits with JILP’s Online and Senior Online Editors and pieces are formatted in the traditional style of print articles.

Online Annotations

Traditionally, the Journal of International Law & Politics published staff editor book reviews as book annotations in the print editions of the Journal. However, beginning with Volume 52, a portion of our staff editors began publishing online annotations instead. These annotations are short essays written by our own staff editors and published on the Online Forum. In addition to demonstrating the expertise of our staff and encouraging deeper engagement with issues in international law and politics, we hope that our new online annotations program will contribute to the diversity of topics that the Journal covers.
