JURIS GENTIUM LAW REVIEW

Foreword

Gabriela Eliana
Editor in Chief of Juris Gentium Law Review

CIMC has, for my last four years, fostered the growth that I have always sought for as a student interested in international law. Aside from international moot court competitions, CIMC also facilitates for the experience to contribute to Indonesia’s legal scholarship through the Juris Gentium Law Review (JGLR).

JGLR has set its sights high to advance the application of writing and analytical skills of law students everywhere by encouraging students’ participation in the world of legal publication. With every volume, JGLR aims to maintain top quality articles and expects from all contributors, whether as an author or as part of the Editorial Board, the creativity, discipline, and legal instincts to endure the rigor of the publication process. Being part of this contribution also means receiving the opportunity to engage with executive reviewers in different areas of expertise to refine your ideas and help you gain insight on your topics of interest. With this, I have seen many push their limits to find their niche, experiment with their writing abilities, and open many doors for themselves in the process.

Allow yourself this opportunity early on. When you put your ideas on paper, there is no telling the kind of impact your ideas can have on people. We are ready to equip you with the tools to see this mission through.

Juris Gentium Law Review publishes 2 editions annually.

The theme varies every volume and the submissions are open usually in the months of August and December.

Case commentaries should adhere to the following general outline: 1) Summary of the facts of the case; 2) (for comparative law case commentaries) how the legal situation in the jurisdiction being reviewed compares to the Indonesian legal context, or to the general trends in most jurisdictions; and 3) Discussions of the value of the judgment being reviewed brings to the law. The foregoing of course does not mean that the authors need to attach to each section a title which strictly corresponds to the nature of those sections.
Each image being featured in an article should credit its source (if the picture(s) concerned is (are) made by the author, then the author must credit his or herself).
We encourage the usage of Zotero, Mendeley, or other citation softwares for the bibliography section.
