In collaboration with the "Melbourne University Law Review it produces the Australian Guide to Legal Citation.

The journal was established in 2000 by its founding editor: Suzan Davies, Peter Henley, Kalika Jayasekera, Amanda Rologas, and Tracy Whiriskey, and the Law Faculty of the University of Melbourne, in recognition of the shortage of academic and practice-oriented material dealing with the Asia-Pacific region's relationship with both private and public international law.

Articles that have passed the entire editing process well before final publication in their corresponding issue are uploaded on the journal's website as an advance copy.

The journal assists the Melbourne University Law Review in its publication of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation ('AGLC').
