About GJIL 

The Gonzaga Journal of International Law (GJIL) is a student-run, online legal journal with a readership that spans the globe. The Journal includes articles, essays, and comments from law professors, government officials, practicing attorneys, and business professionals.

Since its founding in 1997, the Gonzaga Journal of International Law has remained committed to publishing authors who tackle pertinent, cutting-edge issues affecting the legal and political communities both in the United States and abroad. The Journal has also sought to expand its influence beyond the sphere of academia through public service and outreach. Annual events include a 5K charity race to raise funds for Partners in Health and the American Cancer Society, and the International Law Symposium, which addresses various international legal, political, and social issues, and features highly respected legal scholars from local, national, and international communities.
