As one of the country`s leading journals dealing with legal developments in Asia, the Asian Law Review plays a crucial role in shaping the perspective of the legal community by publishing influential articles about Asia at a time when the importance of the region is growing exponentially. ALR contributes to academic debates on the development of law and society in Asia and shapes how the U.S. Law Academy and society at large understand and interact with the region. The Asian Journal of International Law is a peer-reviewed legal journal that focuses on public and private international law. It is an official publication of the Asian Society of International Law and is published by Cambridge University Press. [1] It is published by the Faculty of Law of the National University of Singapore and is the successor to the Singapore Yearbook of International Law. [2] The editors-in-chief are Antony Anghie, Simon Chesterman and Tan Hsien-Li. [3] The function of the journal is threefold. First, the journal provides valuable writing and editing experience to Law Students at the University of Washington who are interested in law and political issues in the Pacific region. Second, as one of two student-edited legal journals in the United States devoted to the Pacific Basin and the only journal that contains translations of East Asian jurisprudence, the Journal encourages debate on issues crucial to the Pacific region. Third, the journal reinforces the national and international role of the University of Washington School of Law as the center for East Asian legal studies. Journals offer an invaluable examination of substantive international law.
Although global topics can be covered in many law journals, the law school has two journals with an explicit international and/or comparative focus. JIL is the oldest thematic journal on Penn Carey Law and is widely regarded as one of the world`s leading international legal journals. Journal of International Law publishes four issues a year containing articles on international, comparative, transnational and foreign public and private law. The first issue, published in January 2011, featured articles by prominent Asian scholars and practitioners such as Hisashi Owada, Xue Hanqin, BS Chimni, Tommy Koh, Onuma Yasuaki and Michael Hwang. [4] Membership is competitive and based on first-year grades and writing contest results. The Washington International Law Journal was founded in 1990 [as Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal (ISSN: 1066-8632)] as an innovative vehicle to discuss policy-oriented legal and interdisciplinary issues affecting both Asian and trans-Pacific affairs. The launch of the journal was hailed as an example of a new self-confident Asia challenging the West both intellectually and economically.
