Mission Statement Since the first issue appeared in the 1960s, practitioners, scholars, and courts of all levels have cited articles from the Texas International Law Journal as legal authority. Members of the Journal seek to maintain this tradition of excellence by providing the legal community with the highest quality of secondary source material on current and relevant international legal developments. Copyright © 2002 (U.S. ISSN # 0163-7479) Cite as: TEX. INT'L L.J. Except as otherwise expressly provided, the authors of each article have granted permission for copies of their articles to be made available for educational use in a U.S. or foreign accredited law school or nonprofit institution of higher learning, provided that (i) copies are distributed at or below cost; (ii) the author and the Journal are identified; and (iii) proper notice of copyright is affixed to each copy. American publication standards are among the most stringent in the world. Members of the Journal are required to check all footnotes for both substantive accuracy and proper citation form. In accordance with this standard, we encourage our foreign authors to be specific in the identification of the type of source used as well as the page numbers of factually cited material. If the Journal accepts the submission, there may be a need for more specific information over the course of the publishing process (such as source front matter identifying the date of printing, publisher, and type of source). While the Journal will make every effort to locate sources, some are simply unavailable in the United States. Every author whose work is accepted for publication should be prepared to provide source material at the Journal's request. Manuscript Submissions and Editorial Policies This year, the Texas International Law Journal will be published four times by the University of Texas School of Law Publications, Inc. The Editorial Board and The University of Texas are not in any way responsible for the views expressed by the contributors. We welcome the unsolicited submission of articles from scholars, practitioners, businesspeople, government officials, judges, and students on topics relating to recent developments in international law. In addition to articles, the Journal also invites authors to submit shorter works, such as book reviews, commentaries, essays, notes, comments, and bibliographies. All submissions are reviewed blindly throughout the year on a rolling basis. The Journal's Selection Committee seeks to provide authors with timely responses; however, the Committee will sometimes hold articles for consideration in a future publication unless the Journal is notified of a withdrawal. Please send submissions, accompanied by a curriculum vitae and a cover letter, to the attention of the Submissions Editor. Manuscripts must conform with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (17th ed. 2000), published by the Harvard Law Review Association. Additionally, pieces should, to the extent feasible, follow The Chicago Manual of Style (14th ed. 1993). Manuscripts should be typewritten, double-spaced, and footnoted where necessary. Because of the volume of submissions, the Journal will typically not review manuscripts that are sent by e-mail or facsimile. Special accomodations, however, can be made on an individual basis, especially for authors outside the United States. Please e-mail the Journal for more information on sending your manuscript electronically. If the Journal accepts the submission for publication, the author will be required to provide a copy of the manuscript on a 3.5" floppy diskette or via e-mail, preferably in Microsoft Word 97 format. As is the standard practice of publications in the United States, the Journal will hold copy-rights (see above) to the publication. All submissions inquiries and requests for review should be directed to the Submissions Editor: Texas International Law Journal |
