The Yale Journal of International Law (YJIL) will host its sixth annual Young Scholars Conference on Saturday, March 1, at Yale Law School. At the conference, law students from around the country will present papers on cutting-edge topics in international and comparative law and will receive feedback from distinguished professors in the field. Two of the papers will be published in Vol. 33, No. 2, of YJIL.
