Columbia journal of transnational law

Fifty-nine years ago, under the guidance of the late Professor Wolfgang Friedmann, a group of Columbia law students belonging to the Columbia Society of International Law founded the Bulletin of the Columbia Society of International Law. The Bulletin’s first volume, published in 1961, contained two issues and was a forum for the informal discussion of international legal questions. The second volume, published in 1963 as the International Law Bulletin, aspired more to the tradition of the scholarly law review. Today’s Columbia Journal of Transnational Law (CJTL) is heir to those early efforts.
