Membership
JILP comprises a Senior Board, Article/Notes/Symposium/Production Editors, Staff Editors and Graduate Editors.
Staff Members are second year J.D. candidates who are selected from participants in NYU's annual writing competition (JILP membership is also open to a select number of transfer students through a separate competition). In March of each year, Staff Editors may apply for Senior
Board positions which become effective on April 1. The Senior Board is selected by the previous Board, and is responsible for the management of the Journal. Article/Note/Symposium/Production Editors are third year students who work with their respective members of the Senior Board to perform much of the journal's work.
Graduate Editors are selected in September based on their personal statements and resumes. Graduate students may submit Notes and Book Reviews, act as advisors to JILP members writing Notes, contribute to the ongoing updates of the Guide to Foreign and Interntional Legal Citation, and
participate in other Journal activities including Note Reads and symposium organization, as they have interest.
JILP seeks students who are dedicated to producing a superior scholarly publication. When evaluating Staff Editors, we consider performance in the spring writing competition, grades, and a required personal statement. In keeping with the stated mission of the Journal, we have a strong and continuing commitment to recruiting Staff Editors and other members who bring with them the widest possible diversity of experiences and backgrounds and who have sincere interests in international law and global affairs. JILP sponsors a number of social events during the academic year, culminating with a banquet in the spring. All Journal members are invited and encouraged to attend these functions.
