Further Information
-
MJIL, Australia’s premier generalist international law journal, is a peer-reviewed academic journal based at Melbourne Law School, the University of Melbourne. MJIL publishes innovative scholarly research and critical examination of issues in international law.
MJIL’s coverage extends beyond public international law to articles addressing private international law, the intersection of international law with domestic law, global governance and associated areas of transnational law.
MJIL will also consider interdisciplinary work which substantially contributes to international legal scholarship. If authors are uncertain whether their proposed topic is eligible for inclusion in MJIL they should contact the Editors at submissions-mjil@unimelb.edu.au.
-
MJIL accepts submissions on a rolling basis and will publish advance electronic copies of articles prior to print publication. The submissions deadline for consideration in volume 26(2) is 31 July 2025.

All articles, case notes, commentaries and think pieces published in MJIL undergo a double blind refereeing process, involving at least two experts in that area of law. The Editors endeavour to decide on whether submissions will proceed to refereeing within four weeks of receipt. MJIL requires exclusive submission — ie, that submissions submitted to MJIL are not simultaneously being considered for publication elsewhere.
Book reviews and review essays will be reviewed solely by the Editors prior to publication. Publishers’ suggestions for books to be reviewed should be sent to submissions-mjil@unimelb.edu.au, and hard copies of publications can be mailed to:
