We are pleased to announce that the Georgetown Journal of International Law (GJIL) has been selected to be the affiliated journal of the U.S. Court of International Trade (USCIT).

"This development comes at a significant time for the Journal and for the Law Center in its evolution as a premier law school in the United States for transnational law generally, and international trade in particular," Georgetown Law Dean T. Alexander Aleinikoff said. "We are very pleased that the U.S. Court of International Trade selected the Georgetown Journal of International Law as the vehicle to provide this unique forum for scholarship and debate on important global trade issues."

"This annual issue will finally give the work of this specialized court the prominence it deserves in our national conversation on the real effects of globalization and international trade, and we are honored to be a part of that effort," said Shawn Bates, editor-in-chief of GJIL. "It also speaks to the Journal's history, evolving from Law and Policy in International Business to the broader Georgetown Journal of International Law; this new publication is a return to our roots in international business."

The new GJIL annual publication will be entitled International Trade Review and will be an independent critique and analysis of the work of the Court of International Trade. It will draw articles, essays, notes and case commentaries from practitioners, academics and students from all over the world. This annual issue will focus on the work of the Court of International Trade and its review by the Federal Circuit, and will look at current development in customs and trade law, examining the past and looking toward the future.

Articles for the International Trade Review should be submitted online at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/AMSAuthor/ There is no limitation on the subject matter for the International Trade Review other than that it involve a current or prospective issue of international trade.
