General Information
The Harvard International Law Journal seeks to publish innovative, original scholarship that makes a significant contribution to the fields of international, comparative or foreign affairs law. The ILJ welcomes articles from professors, practitioners, and students of private or public international law, as well as other related disciplines.
Article Format
Articles should generally be 2,500 – 5,000 words in length (though length may vary depending on author’s need). The Harvard International Law Journal Online encourages light footnoting, but reserves the right to request additional citations in accepted articles if needed. All footnotes must conform with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (most recent edition).
Submitting Manuscripts
We are currently accepting submissions for online publication. We make decisions on a rolling basis, although the timing of our decision on many submissions may vary depending on the time of year. Articles for consideration for online publication can be submitted electronically to iljonline@mail.law.harvard.edu. All articles for consideration for print publication must be submitted using the procedures detailed for print submissions.
