About the EJIL
Welcome to the website of one of the world’s leading international law journals. The EJIL was established in 1990 by a small group of scholars based at the European University Institute, the Universities of Florence, Munich and Paris II and the Michigan Law School. The Journal has grown since then in size, strength and reputation, but the Editors’ original vision remains unchanged. About the EJIL

EJIL is interested in publishing some pieces in the area of Science and International Law (it could relate to the fields of IL and the Internet; environment, GMOs, and could address issues such as methods of proof, deference to scientific expertise, etc). Particular interest in a) conceptual and theoretical approaches; b) challenge of science in the context of international litigation. Those working in this area who have advanced drafts and who would be interested in publishing their work in EJIL should contact Professor JHH Weiler, our Editor-in-Chief. (joseph.weiler@nyu.edu)
