The Journal of International Economic Law is delighted to announce the third annual JIEL Junior Faculty Forum. The JIEL JFF brings together early career scholars (including junior faculty, visiting assistant professors, PhD candidates, post-doctoral fellows, etc.) working in the field of international economic law. The purpose is to allow scholars to present their work before an audience of peers and experts and receive feedback from senior scholars. In addition, at least one piece will receive an offer of publication to appear in the 27th volume of the Journal of International Economic Law—the leading publication in the field.
Rules and Format
We welcome applications from early career scholars teaching in law faculties or other schools such as in economics, political science, history or international relations. The Forum invites submissions covering a wide range of international economic law topics – trade, investment, finance, tax, labor, intellectual property, data, and other topics reflective of the broad nature of the field. Scholars who have previously presented at the JIEL JFF are not eligible to apply.
At the JIEL JFF, up to eight successful applicants will present their work; for each paper, a senior scholar will provide a response followed by general discussion by the entire Forum. The intention is to create a process of sustained exchange and feedback that can help to improve the piece.
Interested applicants should submit a brief description of the unpublished/unsubmitted project (up to 800 words) in a Microsoft Word document as well as a CV in PDF by 11:59pm EDT, Friday, July 14, 2023. The Word document description should be single spaced and should not include any identifying information as each submission will be reviewed without attribution. The file name of the Word document should be the first few words of the title of your abstract. The application form and upload links are available here: https://forms.gle/TWVBd7BM52BCGSZ96.
Applicants should be prepared to comply with the following schedule following the July 14 deadline:
Selection and Notification by July 31, 2023.
Draft Papers (up to 12,500 words) circulated by September 4, 2023.
