The Journal is the Volume, an annual, citable collection of peer-reviewed articles. Alongside student-authored features published throughout the year, the Journal welcomes contributions from across the field, including counsel, in-house teams, academics, arbitrators, and recent graduates.
Every manuscript is read anonymously by two independent reviewers. Accepted articles are edited to publication standard and archived permanently under the Journal’s masthead.
