Candidacy Information
The Denver Journal of International Law and Policy has been a definitive voice in its field for over a quarter century. The Journal was founded by Professor Ved Nanda in 1971 and has enjoyed the guidance of a world-class Board of Advisors.
The Journal is an entirely student run and organized publication at the University of Denver College of Law. The Journal is published 4 times a year.
The Journal has many opportunities for University of Denver College of Law students to be published. Each year one issue is devoted entirely to the student work of the Journal’s members. Also, all College of Law students may have an opportunity to be published by participating in two student writing competitions at the College of Law: the Sutton Award and the Holland & Hart Private International Law Award.
To become a member of the DJILP staff a student must pass a two phase candidacy process. First, the student must complete and pass a cite and source exercise, designed to measure Bluebooking knowledge and application. Second, the student must write a scholarly survey paper on an international law topic of their choice, which is used to measure the candidate’s citation skills and general writing ability. Upon satisfactory completion of both phases the student will then become a staff editor.
The Journal does not have a GPA or class level requirement, it is open to any and all law students who can commit at least one year to serving on the journal.
All current candidacy information is available on the Denver Journal of International Law and Policy Candidacy page on the TWEN site.
