The Berkeley Journal of International Law (BJIL) is edited and produced by students at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall). BJIL currently publishes three issues per year. Issues are comprised of articles, case notes and book reviews addressing various issues of international law.

We strive to publish a broad array of scholarship that spans the whole of the public and private international law disciplines. Our central mission is to publish a diverse spectrum of viewpoints, perspectives, and approaches to international legal issues. Articles range from broad theoretical and general policy pieces to those narrow in scope and practical in application.

In addition to publication, BJIL organizes an annual Stefan A. Riesenfeld Lecture and a biennial Riesenfeld Symposium, for which scholars and practitioners the world over come to speak on a chosen topic. Past topics include World War II Reparations and Restitution Claims, and International Money Laundering.
