The Stanford Journal of International Law is comprised entirely of Stanford Law School students who are
committed to the Journal's mission. Stanford Law students who share an
interest in the Journal's work are strongly encouraged to participate in
new member training workshops, which take place in the fall and spring of
each year. To join the Journal or learn more about becoming a member,
please contact the Journal
Development Editor.
General members are crucial to
Journal's existence and continued success. General members are first called
upon to read and analyze the article or note to which they are assigned
during the "analytical edit" stage of the editing process.
Thereafter, general members are asked to focus on particular portions of
their article, performing structural improvements, general editing,
cite-checking, and other tasks during the "substantive" and
"copydress" stages of the editing process. By engaging in this
process, general members play a critical role in the crafting and
perfecting of each issue of the Journal.
Members in their first and second semesters are also provided with the
opportunity to write book notes (short book reviews) for publication in the
Journal.
After satisfactory completion of a training workshop and one semester of
work with the Journal, general members may obtain midlevel staff positions. These positions are appointed for a
term of one semester, based on expressed interest, merit, and experience.
Serving on the midlevel staff is a great way for members to increase their
involvement in the Journal; it is also superb (and in some cases required)
preparation for a senior staff
position.
An important component of the Journal's mission is providing fellowship
and building camaraderie among Stanford Law students interested in the
study or development of international law. To that end, the Journal works
to provide multiple and varied opportunities for staff and members to
interact with one another, both in professional and social settings. The
Journal prides itself on its reputation for cordiality and fraternity among
all members.
