The International and Comparative Law Review (ICLR) was founded by Victor M. Marroquin and first published in 1991 in English, French, and Spanish. Victor was joined by four other founding members, Jill Anderson, Michael Johnson, Kevin Roberts, and Alex Palenzuela, who all shared Victor’s vision for a new, more globally focused publication. Victor’s mission stated: “We wanted to create an original publication, a journal that would serve not only as a forum for the discussion and development of international law in the English speaking world, but also as a tool of research and practice for English as well as non-English reading international lawyers and scholars.” Today, the members of ICLR strive to embody those same principles.

The International and Comparative Law Review welcomes submission of articles of substantial legal merit and creativity authored by scholars and practitioners of private and public international law. The Review publishes twice a year by students at the University of Miami School of Law. The U.S. subscription rate is U.S. $58.00 per issue; the foreign rate is U.S. $68.00. Payments should be made in U.S. currency. Subscriptions are renewed automatically upon expiration unless the subscriber sends a timely notice of termination. All notifications of address changes should include the appropriate zip code. For additional information, or to place an order, please contact William S. Hein & Co., Inc., 1285 Main Street, Buffalo, New York, 14209; 1-800-828-7571. Although the International and Comparative Law Review generally gives great deference to an author’s work, the Review retains the right to determine the final published form of every article. Articles should have footnotes for citations, and should conform to the 19th Edition of the The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. The Review assumes no responsibility for the return of any material. All articles represent the opinions of the noted authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board.
