- Tip for BLS students seeking to publish in Brooklyn Journal of International Law (BJIL): Check tables of contents of recently published BJIL volumes at BrooklynWorks: Brooklyn Journal of International Law + list of forthcoming BJIL articles/notes that BJIL editors can provide to you, because you cannot analyze the same law/legal issues.
- Tips for all BLS students interested in international law:
- American Bar Association (ABA) law student membership is free. A law student can join five free ABA groups, including: International Law Section. This will increase a law student's access to: this Section's news, brief articles published in International Lawyer, and webinars.
- International Law Section's current legal news articles are available here to law students who join this Section.
- International Law Section's International Legal Developments Year in Review 2023 (highlighting key IL developments by topic/region) is available here to law students who join this Section. Late July-early August 2025: articles from International Legal Developments Year in Review 2024 will appear here.
- International Law Section sponsors meetings/events (virtual + in person) that often are free for members of this Section. These meetings/ events highlight current legal issues/problems and key documents, for example:
- American Society of International Law (ASIL) student membership is free for BLS students because BLS is an ASIL Academic Partner. BLS students also can access career development resources (including a job board) and can register for free to attend ASIL's Midyear Meeting. ASIL's student membership page states: "Students from Academic Partner Schools will have the opportunity to obtain a Discount Promo Code during the process of joining or renewing membership with the Society."
