The Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law is a preeminent forum for academic discussion on current international subjects. From its inception in 1971 as a student initiative supported by former U.S. Secretary of State and UGA Law Professor Dean Rusk, the International Journal features work by legal scholars and practitioners as well as student notes written by International Journal members.

With a staff composed entirely of second- and third- year law students, the International Journal publishes three times each year. The International Journal serves as a valuable research tool for practicing lawyers and students of the law. It also provides opportunities for International Journal members to develop their own editing and writing skills. 

Membership in the International Journal is limited to second- and third-year law students who are selected on the basis of their performance on an annual write-on competition. Students who are interested in joining the International Journal must participate in the competition at the end of their 1L year, even if they plan to take time off during law school or are pursuing a joint degree. Students who spend their 1L year at other law schools and are applying to transfer to Georgia Law must participate in the competition in the spring before their 2L year and must be admitted to Georgia Law to become a member of the International Journal.
