Hastings International and Comparative Law Review (HICLR) is one of the oldest international law journals in the United States, and was established in 1976. [1] It is published by law students through the O'Brien Center for Scholarly Publication, the publishing foundation for UC Hastings. [2] HICLR publishes articles on the topics of international, comparative, and foreign law. It also publishes student-written work (termed "notes") on recent developments in international law. The current Editor-in-Chief is Jacklin Lee. [3]
Notable international-legal figures that have published articles in HICLR include: current Legal Adviser of the Department of State, Harold Koh; [4] former Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Jimmy Gurulé; [5] founder of the Association of Humanitarian Lawyers, Karen Parker; [6] and premier legal scholars Julius Stone [7] and George Bermann. [8]
Two distinguished former Faculty Advisors of HICLR are comparative legal scholar, Rudolf Schlesinger and former Judge Advocate General of the United States Army, Major General George S. Prugh. [9] The current HICLR Faculty Advisors are Professors Naomi Roht-Arriaza, Ugo Mattei, Joel Paul, Bill Dodge and Richard Boswell. [10]
The journal currently publishes two issues per year, Winter and Summer. [11] HICLR articles are commonly cited under the abbreviation "Hastings Int'l & Comp. L. Rev." [12] Furthermore, HICLR hosts an annual symposium where a series of experts discuss a pressing issue in international law. Recent topics have included Japanese legal reform and Palestinian access to international courts. [13]
