In a world that is continuously getting smaller, it is necessary to be kept abreast of the issues arising internationally as well as those issues arising just within our country’s borders. The Tulsa Journal of Comparative & International Law is the perfect tool to use to keep up with this constantly shrinking and changing world. In this day and age, it is becoming almost as critical to possess the knowledge about what is happening in the international legal field, as it is to know about what occurs in the national legal field. Providing people with that international knowledge is the primary purpose of the Tulsa Journal of Comparative & International Law.The Tulsa Journal of Comparative & International Law, with its inaugural issue published in fall 1993, is the newest journal at the University of Tulsa College of Law. The Tulsa Journal of Comparative & International Law is published bi-annually, and is edited and staffed by students at University of Tulsa College of Law.

Journal members are responsible for selecting and editing articles that focus on comparative and international legal topics ranging from international commerce to human rights issues to international energy and environmental law. The articles to date have been written by international law professors, attorneys, and high-level government and business officials. Previous issues have included information from the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico and the Secretary-General of the Rio Earth Summit. The student-produced writings are published in the "Notes and Comments" section of the Journal.The Journal is online through WESTLAW and LEXIS-NEXIS, and it has an impressively wide circulation among law school libraries, law firms, corporate in-house legal libraries, and government circles. The Journal highlights the diverse comparative and international law programs at the University of Tulsa, College of Law and is growing as a leading authority in the expanding field of comparative and international law.
