The distinguished American Journal of International Law (AJIL) has been published quarterly since 1907. It features articles, editorials, notes and comments by pre-eminent scholars on developments in international law and international relations. The Journal contains summaries and analyses of decisions by national and international courts and arbitral or other tribunals, and of contemporary U.S. practice in international law. Each issue lists recent publications in English and other languages, many of which are reviewed in depth. The Journal is indispensable for all professionals working in international law, economics, trade and foreign affairs.

A subscription to the Journal includes four issues (both print and electronic) from time of payment (with the annual index being part of the October issue). ASIL membership includes 4 issues of the Journal in print (starting with the first issue published after dues payment) and online access to the two most recent years’ issues. Membership rates range from $55 to $210, depending on member type.

Freestanding (non-member) subscription price: $230.00 per year ($205 for electronic delivery only), plus $40 for shipping the print version beyond the U.S.

The American Journal of International Law (AJIL) invites submission of manuscripts on international law subjects. Its primary focus is on questions of public international law, including closely related issues of domestic law. It generally does not publish manuscripts focused on private or commercial law or on comparative or foreign law, including the internal law of the European Union.

The AJIL will not consider submissions whose content has been, or will be, published before it appears in this journal.

The AJIL does not require exclusive submissions. Priority consideration will, however, be accorded where the author states that the submission is exclusive for a specified period of at least six weeks and commits to accept an offer of publication within the specified time period. Authors should bear in mind that, as a professionally juried journal, the AJIL is rarely if ever able to make offers of publication in response to requests for expedited review within the time limits typically fixed by other journals that have made offers of publication.

Submissions should be in electronic form and should be transmitted as attachments to e-mail messages addressed to ajil@asil.org. Alternatively, a CD-ROM may be mailed to:

AJIL
American Society of International Law
2223 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20008-2864, USA

The AJIL currently uses Word 2007, but can convert manuscripts created in other word processing programs. Please specify the program used.

Format and style guidelines: All manuscripts should be double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman type; these formatting requirements cover all text, quotations, and footnotes.

• The maximum length for lead articles is 100 letter-sized pages, formatted as indicated.
• The maximum length for "Current Developments" and "Notes and Comments" submissions is 30 letter-sized pages, formatted as indicated.

The AJIL generally conforms to the footnote style of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (19th ed. 2010) and the Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed. 2010). For further information on AJIL style and formatting guidelines, see the AJIL Style Guide, available online at www.asil.org/ajil_style_guide.pdf.
