ARTICLE SUBMISSIONS
The Georgetown International Environmental
Law Review (GIELR) is a quarterly publication of scholarly commentary
on and practical analysis of international environmental law. Our
publication spans a broad range of subject matters such as the protection
of the global commons; regional and comparative issues; the intersection
between the environment and other international legal areas such as
trade, human rights, security, and technology transfer. The audience
we reach is nearly as broad as the subject matter we publish. GIELR
subscribers include practitioners, policy makers, scholars and students
worldwide.
GIELR publishes articles, notes, and book reviews which are of scholarly
length and quality. Typically, submissions are at least 25 pages in
length. In addition to being well-written, successful manuscripts
address topics with substantive components that are legal, environmental,
and international in scope. Articles on domestic environmental law will be considered for publication if they address issues with international, regional, comparative, or cross-border aspects.
GIELR accepts submissions year round. Electronic manuscripts are strongly
preferred and should be e-mailed to gielr@law.georgetown.edu.
All citations should conform to the most recent edition of The Bluebook.
Submissions should include a cover letter, an abstract, and the author's
current CV in addition to the manuscript.
(Note: Manuscripts submitted by J.D. students and accepted for publication
will be published as notes. Manuscripts submitted by L.L.M. students
and accepted for publication will be published as notes if the author
is not admitted to the bar in any jurisdiction; if the author is admitted
to the bar, the manuscript will be published as an article.)
Dear Authors,
Thank you for considering the Georgetown International Environmental Law
Review. At this time we are considering articles for publication in our upcoming
issue -- Volume 23, Issue 3 (Spring 2011) -- and we encourage you to submit your
article.
We consider all articles that fit the description above and those traditionally
associated with international and environmental law, but this year we are also trying to
expand the reach of the law review to include articles related
to energy (particularly nuclear and renewables), environmental justice and poverty,
and areas near or south of the equator, including South America, Africa, and Southeast
Asia.
All the best,
RF Michael Snodgrass, Juan-Guillermo Sandoval Coustasse, Emily Sweeney-Samuelson
