The Texas International Law Journal was founded in 1966 and is one of the nation's oldest and best respected student-edited international law journals. It has regularly featured articles by both established figures as well as those beginning their careers and has addressed areas from arbitration to humanitarian intervention to foreign law.
Students regularly contribute notes to the journal on many topical issues.
Each year, the Journal organizes an international symposium on a subject of contemporary interest, attracting leading academics and policymakers. The International Law Society principally organizes speakers programs for the Law School. In recent years, it has organized a panel on the UN's fiftieth anniversary and arranged for the visits of leading human rights activists to the Law School. In addition, along the with extensive resources provided by the Career Services Office, it provides guidance to students interested in careers in international law. The law school community has also benefited from endowed lecture funds for distinguished visitors.
