New England Journal of International And Comparative Law

The Center sponsors the New England Journal of International and Comparative Law, (formerly the New England International and Comparative Law Annual), a student-edited, on-line publication, featuring articles and notes on provocative and current issues in the fields of international and comparative law. Published twice a year in electronic and hard copy, the International Law Journal is accessible world-wide through the New England School of Law internet homepage (http://www.nesl.edu/intljournal) and through Lexis/Nexis. Since 1996, thousands of foreign scholars have logged on to the Journal's website. The 2002 issue of the Journal features a transcript of a "Teach-In On Terrorism", in which experts from New England School of Law, Suffolk Law School, and Harvard University Law School, discussed the ramifications of September 11th a few days after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Reports and Occasional Papers

With the assistance of the the Journal's editors, the Center publishes reports and occasional papers on international issues vital to the national interest. In June 2000, the Center co-authored a report with the Public International Law and Policy Group entitled The Nagorno-Karabagh Crisis: A Blueprint for Resolution, which was distributed to 1,200 policy makers in Washington, D.C., and throughout the world. In December 2002, the Center co-authored a timely report with the Public International Law and Policy Group entitled "Rebuilding Afghanistan in the Aftermath of U.S. Intervention." Both reports are available on the Center's website.

International Law Website

The Center has an extensive website, which includes hyperlinks to international law resources on war crimes and other international law topics, back issues of the New England Journal International and Comparative Law (now the New England Journal of International & Comparative Law).
