NEW MEMBERS ELECTED TO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW BOARD OF EDITORS; NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR FUTURE BOARD MEMBERS
WASHINGTON, DC-The American Society of International Law (ASIL) announces the election of seven new members and the re-election of two existing members to its American Journal of International Law (AJIL) Board of Editors. Published quarterly by the Society since 1907, the Journal regularly features articles, editorials, and comments by preeminent scholars on developments in international law and international relations. It also includes analyses of decisions by courts and tribunals and reviews of recent books on international law. The periodical is considered by JSTOR, a widely-used digital library of thousands of academic journals, to be “the premier English-language scholarly journal in its field.”
The AJIL Board is composed of roughly 30 individuals who serve staggered four-year terms and are charged with editing the Journal and determining its content. New members are elected by the members of the existing Board.
Those people who were newly elected to the AJIL Board are as follows.
– Antony Anghie, University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law
– James Gathii, ASIL Academic Partner Loyola University Chicago School of Law
– Alexandra Huneeus, ASIL Academic Partner University of Wisconsin Law School
– Karen Knop, University of Toronto Faculty of Law

The following people were re-elected to the AJIL Board.

– Kal Raustiala, ASIL Academic Partner University of California-Los Angeles School of Law
The Nominating Committee of the AJIL Board of Editors is also inviting nominations for members of the Board of Editors to be elected in the spring of 2015. Nominations are based primarily on scholarship and creativity, as demonstrated in books, articles, and other written work appearing over a period of years. Suggestions, along with supporting statements and information, such as a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and, if possible, copies of significant publications, should be sent to AJIL Co-Editors in Chief José Alvarez and Benedict Kingsbury at law.ajil.admin@nyu.edu by December 1, 2014.
