The International Lawyer is the official quarterly publication of the American Bar Association's Section of International Law and Practice. The ABA published the inaugural issue in 1966 and SMU has been the proud home of this prestigious journal since 1986.

Since then, The International Lawyer has grown to become the most widely distributed U.S. international law review in the world, enjoying subscriptions of over 17,000 readers (second only to the Harvard Law Review) in more than 75 countries. In an effort to satisfy its worldwide readership, this publication focuses primarily on practical issues of international law, including international trade, licensing, direct investment, finance, taxation, litigation, and dispute resolution.

Attorneys around the world recognize The International Lawyer as one of the most authoritative sources of practical and academic information affecting international law and practice.
