The Journal hosted a symposium on March 14, 2008 with the theme Water & Ethics. Our spring 2008 publication (Volume 6) will feature the articles and panel discussions presented at the symposium.

Our latest issue published in Summer 2007 contains articles and transcripts from the International Law Weekend-West Conference, hosted at Santa Clara University School of Law on February 2 and 3, 2007.

Founded in 2002, the Santa Clara Journal of International Law (SCJIL) redefined legal journalism by publishing an easily accessible international law journal composed of rigorous, accessible, and intellectually stimulating material. In 2006, SCJIL began print publishing. Currently, in addition to the print editions of the Journal, additional content -- much of it student written -- is available on the Journal's 'Global Perspectives' page of the website.

Vision: To provide a forum for continuous interaction among legal scholars across international borders.

Mission: Our mission is to be at the forefront of scholarly debate in the field of international law and to create the best environment for the open exchange of diverse ideas. We will contribute to the advancement of legal journalism by publishing an easily accessible International law journal composed of intellectually sound material that will assist legal scholars in their studies, practice, and career development. In addition, we strive to provide contemporary and original analysis of international socio-political, economic, and cultural issues. It is therefore our hope that the Santa Clara Journal of International Law will foster greater understanding and cooperation in the field of international law across all borders.
