About the Journal
The Temple International & Comparative Law Journal is a student-edited journal exclusively dedicated to cutting-edge issues within international and comparative law. Founded in 1985, TICLJ selects ambitious articles authored by Temple students and legal professionals that present new and challenging ideas to develop, rather than merely explain, the law. Staff Members are tasked with two duties. First, to edit articles for publication. Second, to research and write a case note or comment. A Staff Member’s first area of responsibility is participating in the editing process of each issue, which includes proofreading the text, ensuring accuracy and integrity, and formatting the entirety of the articles selected for publication. While supported by faculty, many of whom are experts in international law themselves, staff editors also engage in international law coursework to further their intellectual understanding of International Law alongside improving their own writing ability. TICLJ’s contribution to international and comparative legal scholarship, policy, and practice can be seen in both our Fall and Spring issues.
TICLJ acknowledges the persistent barriers to diversity, inclusion, and racial equality within the law and the legal profession—both inside and outside of academic institutions—and how these barriers perpetuate inequities. As a student-run journal dedicated to developing the field of international and comparative law, we are committed to ensuring that our staff, authors, and publications represent a diversity of nationalities, racial and ethnic groups, sexual and gender identities, socio-economic backgrounds, and ideas. We are committed to ensuring not only the diversity of staff and authors, but also to the diversity of the ideas we publish as steps towards combating racial and other forms of inequality.
