Creighton International and Comparative Law Journal

The Creighton International and Comparative Law Journal (CICLJ) is an online publication, founded in 2010, that serves as a forum for debate and exploration of international law issues. It also provides students with the opportunity to refine their research, writing, and critical-thinking skills to create articles.

Our Mission

The Creighton International and Comparative Law Journal (CICLJ) recognizes the increasing importance of international law in legal practice and academia. CICLJ is dedicated to publishing articles by scholars, practitioners and students to provide perspective vital to shaping our legal and social environment.

Submissions

The Creighton International and Comparative Law Journal (CICLJ) welcomes the submission of articles for publication consideration, and all articles submitted will be considered. Please note that the CICLJ only publishes articles on international law or comparative law matters.

All submissions should be in Microsoft Word format, typed (either double or single-spaced), include an abstract, have page numbers at the bottom of the pages, and contain footnotes for support. The footnotes should conform to the requirements outlined in The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (Columbia Law Review Ass'n et al. eds., 21st ed. 2020). Submissions should be checked for spelling and grammar errors before submission.

Length Limitations: CICLJ strongly prefers articles under 50 law review pages, including text and footnotes. Length in excess may weigh significantly against selection; likewise, submissions under 20 law review pages, including text and footnotes, may also weigh against selection.

The CICLJ reserves the right to determine the final format of the article but will strive to preserve the author's original work.
