Past articles have focused on women's health, patent and trade agreements in the global fight against HIV/AIDS, appropriate venues for prosecuting detainees in the war on terror, international legal responses to natural disasters, and freedom of religion in Russia.
By publishing authors such as Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Desmond Tutu, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and Shirin Ebadi, EILR has become a destination for high-profile discussion of pressing international law topics.
Of the nearly two-hundred students that participate in the intra-journal write-on each year, approximately thirty are invited to join EILR as candidates.
Additionally, staff members must write a student comment on a novel area of international or comparative law.
Upon successful completion of the staff member year, students are elevated to EILR's editorial board.
