The Georgetown International Environmental Law Review is a student-edited scholarly journal published at Georgetown University Law Center.
Overview
GIELR publishes four issues each year.
The first volume of GIELR' was published in 1988-89. Volume 21, consisting of 64 editors and members, is currently in publication.
Environmental issues do not recognize political boundaries, nor do they respect territorial integrity. Attempts to confront and resolve global and transboundary environmental problems have created the need for a legal forum to provide analyses of these issues. The Georgetown International Environmental Law Review (GIELR) was created to meet this need. Each publication contains timely information designed for the practitioner and scholar of international and environmental law.
Georgetown University is widely recognized as a leading institution in international law and policy. Members of GIELR's staff enjoy access to extensive resources and a comprehensive curriculum in these fields. GIELR's location in Washington, DC, also facilitates contact with the key domestic and foreign governmental institutions as well as international and environmental practitioners. The proximity of these resources has led to the development of a close working relationship between GIELR and members of the international and environmental communities.
Membership
GIELR is comprised of about sixty second- and third-year law students. The third-year students serve in editorial positions and the second-year students work as staff.
Students are offered positions on GIELR based on their first-year grades and performance in a writing and citation competition. First-year students participate in the competition after completing their final exams in the spring semester. The competition is administered by the Georgetown Law Office of Journal Administration[1].
